Dutch Col on Colonial House Plan Promises Growth
This Dutch colonial style home features a picturesque roof line and a 50 foot wide lot minimum, with a wing that could be added later for a garage and a second floor bedroom. Cross ventilation, ample closets, convenient bath location, side entrance to kitchen and cellar, and a central chimney for heating economy are highlighted. Stone fronts, clapboard sides, and a shingle roof with green blinds complete the design. Estimated cost ranges from 10 000 to 12 000 in large cities, less elsewhere depending on labor costs.
