[Sidenote: =_Stanley_=

26 ft. × 20 ft. over all 4 Rooms]

To combine attractiveness, individuality and economy in one design requires skill, but you will find that the Stanley possesses them all. A more attractive cottage could hardly be imagined. You can see that the pretty exterior effect is obtained by the use of a well proportioned porch, large built-up porch columns, broad overhanging roof, clapboards for side walls with shingles and panels for gables. One of our most attractive front doors, the "Conesus," and the latest style of panel sash are furnished with this design.

The living room, bedrooms and kitchen are expertly arranged to secure the greatest amount of comfort and convenience. If a basement is desired, an enclosed cellar addition may be added at rear in place of the stoop, at small cost. Notice that each room has two windows, thus insuring perfect ventilation.

Two roomy closets give ample space for clothes. Either living room or kitchen is sufficiently large to be used also as a dining room.

On the whole this cottage is altogether charming and will strongly appeal to those who desire a modern four-room house but whose purse places a limit on the amount to be expended.
