Ten Room House Plans Inspire Practical Family Living
William A. Radford offers free expert home building advice. The article extols smaller, efficient houses for growing families, describes a 30 by 37.5 foot ten room plan with front and back stairs, a side porch, a large pantry, a sewing room, and a bay window seat. It praises creativity in layout and stresses that a home must support family life, not just size, with practical features like a separate work area and organized sewing space. The piece also includes a short anecdote about Gen Dabney and his servant Jim from Lippincott's Magazine.
