INTRODUCTORY
AMERICA may well be proud of her large and beautiful homes and of the architects who designed them. The greater number of small homes in all parts of the country, however, arc with few exceptions, almost uniformly lacking in any serious attempt at convenience of arrange- ment i ■!- beauty i »f design.
The reason for this is apparent; when a person decides to build a home of elaborate proportions, he feels the need of a competent architect. He has the mean- to employ one, and he usually endeavors to engage the services of the best he can obtain.
On the other hand, the man of moderate means, who can afford only a medium priced home, realizes that it is only through the most rigid economy that he can hope to build a home with the necessary rooms, finished in the simplest style possible.
Probably the majority of men in these circumstances determine at the outsel that they will build without the services of an architect. The archi- tect- themselves are largely responsible for this state of affairs, too, for many i>i the prominent men in the profession avoid rather than seek com- missions for building small houses.
This class of work, as a rule, does not yield a revenue commensurate with the work it involves. The labor in making drawings and specifications is nearly as great on a small dwelling as on a large one. with the fee vary- ing in proportion to the cost. Therefore, the architects the country over, have established a sliding scale of charges which calls for a higher per- centage "ii the smaller class of work.
Undoubtedly, however, the chief cause of the non-employment of an architect bv the prospective small-home builder, and consequently the lack of real architectural merit which is so universally apparent in these small houses, is due to a misconception on the part of the man who is about to build.
II.- is mistaken in thinking that he will economize by planning the house himself, giving loose instructions to a contractor, or in attempting to build from cheap plans furnished by the contractor-carpenter himself.
In thinking that he can really secure the sort of home he wants, and an architect's fee. be i- committing a folly, that he will invariably realize, to his everlasting regret, when it is too late.
I lie man who purposely refrains from availing himself of competenl technical skill in the designing of his home, is not only going to have a less convenient, less attractive, and l^s well-built house, but he is also going to spend nvre money in getting it. than he can possibly save in a moderate charge for a well made set of working plans.
( >nc may ask. what i- the minion of such a book as this, if the personal taste and prejudice of the owner of the prospective house is to be shown in the home itself. The answer is, that it will help the owner to know more definitely what he does want, what other people have found desirable in a home, and what, in a general way, constitute- a well balanced, economically constructed, livable house.
BUNGALOWS, COTTAGES, RESIDENCES
The many plans in this book will give you a pretty definite impression of what your home should be.
If this book can suggest to the layman what the many possibilities are, for his future home, and he will order a set of my plans that best suits his requirements, I feel sure that he will ever after be numbered among the thousands of my alreadv satisfied clients.
Some General Remarks.
My plans are carefully made and figured ; drawn to *4 in- scale and specifications fully written covering the building in every detail.
In selecting one of my plans do not let a minor detail, such as the change of a door or window from one location to another influence you not to use any particular plan that you otherwise like. These little changes are easily and quickly made and will cost you nothing.
My estimate of costs are based upon prices actually paid within the past 18 months for constructing the houses found in this book. I believe it is only fair to my prospective clients to treat this matter of cost honestly, and I advise him, (when comparing my estimate with others, many of whom estimate 50% too low) not to be misled in thinking that I have not given the matter of cost painstaking consideration. The prices found herein are always exclusive of heating and plumbing, as these items are liable to vary considerably.
The heating plant, for an eight room house, a hot air furnace for $165, in my judgment, would be very satisfactory, but steam or hot water would cost 'from $250 to $350.
The plumbing for an average house could be put in economically for $250 or any amount over that you wish to pay.
I wish to state that my plans are original and copyrighted and no one has a right to use one without my consent. If you see one of the plans contained in this book without my name you may know for a certainty that it is only a poor copy.
Place your confidence in me and order plans. I will make a special personal effort to see that every one of my clients gets just what he wants, and in just the way he wants it. I believe I can satisfy the most exacting tastes, if you will give me the opportunity.
A Few Suggestions To My Patrons.
There are many things to be said about planning and building a home; in fact, enough to more than fill this book without any illustrations, but the author will briefly mention a few of the really important points to be con- sidered when building.
There has been in the past an almost universal disregard to points that are very helpful and useful to the builder of a home but if the reader will carefully study the following- suggestions and be guided by them he will be more than repaid for his time.
GLENN L. SAXTON. ARCHITECT. MINNEAPOLIS
Two Examples of Houses
The Original Plan
First of all. never build a home without a complete set of plans and specifications. The two illustrations on this page will show at a glance what happened to the man who thought that his contractor was competent to build his heme without an architect's plans.
These two houses built in the same city are just one block apart. The first shows the house built according to one of my stock plans and specifi- cations which cost the owner just $35.
The second illustration shows the house built by a man who attempted to save the price of the architect's plans, and just compare the results! The imitation house is all out of proportion, the roof is too steep, and the brackets which support the cornice look like toothpicks. Compare the bays on the front gable in the 2nd story. On the imitation house the bay is all out of proportion and dis- figures the looks of the house as much as a wart on the nose of a beautiful woman. This may be a homely comparison but it is none mphatic. The sleeping porch on the front corner of the imitation , instead of being 7 or 8 feet wide as the original plans show it, nly 3 feet wide. It certainly is not ornamental and is of no practical use whatever and is merely a place for snow and ice to gather in the winter time. The house is the same The Imitation Plan
BUNGALOWS, COTTAGES, RESIDENCES
width but it looks to be only half as wide, for the reason that everything is out of proportion and was not properly planned before the contract was let to the builder.
This imitation house cost more money than the house correctly built, and owing to its hideous appearance, faulty planning and construction, its owner would have to take $1200 to $1500 less for it than would the owner of the first. This is certainly a striking illustration of a man being "penny wise and pound foolish." The man who purchased his plans is delighted with his home and has had numerous opportunities to sell at a good profit while the other man is dissatisfied, never has had an opportunity to sell and has even offered his home at a sacrifice. This is an experience, unfor- tunately, which thousands of home builders have had. It is for you to decide which class you wish to join.
Free Plans.
Never go to the man for plans who calls himself "Architect and Builder" or "Home Builders," who advertises to furnish you with FREE plans if you will allow him to build your home. There is a reason for his gener- osity. Did you ever really get anything for nothing?
It takes time to plan a home and make proper specification and so- called home building companies are not philanthropic enough to do this for you without lining their own pockets at the same time. When you stop to think of it, you can not expect them to, as the plans and specifica- tions are worth something, depending of course, upon the size of the house. Their plans are invariably incomplete, specifications made wordy and oft- times purposely confusing, frequently calling for the poorest grades of ma- terial. So don't you see, in this way they can take advantage of you by charging first class prices for work done with third and fourth class ma- terials. This is the way you get your plans "for nothing." I know as an absolute fact that homebuilding institutions that furnish free plans make a profit of from $600 to $1,000 on every house they build. Would it not be a good idea for you to employ a competent architect to make your plans, and have the assurance that you were not paying an excessive profit for your home?
Liens.
If you have never done any building, you can hardly realize what it means to keep clear of liens. The lien laws are most unfair to the builder of a home in most states. Any firm wdio has furnished material, such as cement, plaster, lumber, mill work, etc., in fact any material which has gone into the construction, can file a lien on your property and compel you to pay for it a second time if your contractor has not settled his accounts for the material entering into the construction of your house, and unless you have taken the precaution to compel your contractor to furnish you with receipted bills for all this material from the concerns who have supplied it you are running a great risk. I have known of hundreds of people who, after having paid their contractor in full, for his contract, later discover that there were from $1,800 to $2,000 in liens filed against their homes which necessitated their paying for their homes practically twice.
By a little precaution you can overcome all of these difficulties and make the building of a home a pleasure instead of a hardship.
GLENN L. SAXTON, ARCHITECT, MINNEAPOLIS
Have a complete set of plans and specifications and insist upon the con- tractor following them absolutely.
Insist upon a Surety Bond from the contractor for protection against lien- which will protect you in case the contractor fails to pay any of his bills. Do not make any changes in the plans after letting the contract that will invariably make a loop hole for the Bonding Company to crawl out of, and finally do not let a contractor furnish you with "Free plans.'* 1 1 you do, you will certainly pay dearly fur the plans you thought were free.
The architect has spent years of time and study and thousands of dol- lars for his experience and for the small price he asks for his plans you are receiving the benefits of all his experience. Now if you will only abide by these suggestions, your homebuilding will be safeguarded and a pleasure from start to hnish.

A Few Illustrations and Suggestions In Home Planning.
In selecting a plan always remember that every plan can be reversed for you without any extra charge. By reversing it, any plan can be made to lit an east, south, west or north exposure. Reversing the plan makes the position of the rooms exactly opposite from the way they are placed in the illustration shown in this book.
Any plan illustrated in this book can have the addition of a sun room or a sleeping porch added to it if desired, for the nominal additional cost of $5, the same to be drawn on first or second story plan, with slip sheet attached to be placed in specifications.
View from a living room looking through hallway opening into dining room beyond.
Living Rooms.
Our first illustrations of interiors are of living rooms. We always plan for an abundance of light and ventilation in the living room. We do not forget to leave wall space large enough for a piano or other large piece of furniture. Stairways are always carefully planned to have a wide approach, and care is taken to have ample headroom, wide treads and risers just the right height. If the living room has a fireplace, you may rest assured it is designed by an architect, who understands every essential of this im- portant adjunct to the livable home. The fire place should have a separate flue, never less than 8x12 inches. Insist upon a damper with handle on the

face of tile or brick, to control the draft. The fireplace is the grandest thing that can be planned for a large living room, as it gives the best ventilation that a room can possible have, in addition to its rosy comfy glow in the winter evenings.

The Dining room, tasteful and handily arranged. Dining Room.
A dining room should always be well lighted and ample wall space should be left for built-in or portable buffets, sideboards or china closets. Paneled wainscoting and beamed ceilings greatly enhance the beauty of this room. The illustration above shows a well proportioned dining room.
The illustration below shows a less pretentious dining room and is charming on account of its simplicity. The walls are paneled and lend themselves nicely to the decorator's art.
A well appointed little Dining room
GLENN L. SAXTON. ARCHITECT, MINNEAPOLIS
The stairway is really one of the nn >st conspicuous features in a home. It can make or mar the most beautiful surroundings and consequently should be given special attention by the architect.
The properly constructed stair- way must be worked out on some of the same principles as a prob- lem in arithmetic. The building cif the stairway therefore is an art a> well as a science.
There are numerous well denned rules governing the build- of a stairway and it' any of these rule- are not observed, the result shows a lack of architectural -kill at a srlance.
The Stairway is the principal thoroughfare
in the home — it should be as
attractive as possible.
A Sun room which is delightful place the year round.
Sun Room.
The sunroom is a feature that has become very popular with the build- ing public in the last four or live years and is adapted to most any style of house. It is really the most valuable asset of the entire home on account of its light, sunshine and fresh air. It is converted into ;i pleasant porch in the summer time and is the most delightful room throughout the winter, being supplied with heat the same as the rest of the house. Having a sun room, one can dispense with a large piazza on one or two sides of the house which darken the rooms and shut out the sunshine. In northern climates these outside porches can only he used about three months out of the year while a sun room is a joy throughout the twelve months.

A Restful Chamber
The designing of a chamber should be carefully studied out: It should be the least pretentious and most harmonious room in the house. Simplic- ity should be its keynote.
The vital things to be considered are : windows on two sides of the chamber for ventilation, abundance of wall space for double or twin beds, dressers, dressing tables, etc. No chamber should be designed without ample space for the bed to be moved to at least two positions when desired.
Here is a sleeping porch that any modest home can possess. Sleeping Porch.
A well ventilated sleeping porch is the pet hobby of the author. The deeping porch in our estimation, is one of the best investments that a
GLENN L. SAXTON. ARCHITECT, MINNEAPOLIS
13
homebuilder can make. It will discount the services of the best physician in the city even if he is employed by the year. The secret is that you breath the fresh pure air during your sleeping hours, which is worth than any apothecary'- pills in the world. A sleeping porch is one thing every house, little or big, should have.
An ideal kitchen The Kitchen.
An ideal kitchen is the one thing which every woman desires, and I regret to say, so few of them really possess. A modern housewife's idea of a kitchen has changed radically from the ideas of her mother's time. A few years ago the kitchen was the largest room in the house and compelled the housewife or maid to take thousands of unnecessary steps, to say noth- ing of the extra elbow grease necessarily used every week in scrubbing such a large expanse of floor.
The modern kitchen of today is small, compact, has a place for every- thing and everything in its place. The modern architect gives as much thought to the planning of the kitchen as to any other room in the house. He provides the most convenient place for the sink, usually under a window, with proper provision for the drain board. There is always sufficient space allowed for the range and, in fact, for every other fixture for this room, not forgetting the all-important refrigerator. Proper location for lights, outlets and receptacles for gas or electric iron, fans, etc., even to a wrought iron ventilating pipe for hood over the range t<> carry off the odors from the cooking, all receive his painstaking attention.

Bathroom.
A simple and sani- tary bathroom is a luxury which is now within the reach of everyone, in this mo- dern day of home planning. Ventila- tion and light are the most essential points to be considered in every bathroom, re- gardless of its size. I could write several chapters about the bathroom but space forbids. There is no part of the home
. .. where such wonder-

* ' J ful strides have been
made in late years as in the equipment of the bathroom. It is gratifying to know that the desirable and beautiful fixtures which were once an un- heard of extravagance are now within the reach of the modest homebuilder. Beautiful enamel iron tubs, vitreous bowls, modern noiseless closets and sanitary metal wall cabinets with mirrored doors are luxuries fit for a potentate but these are found in every well constucted home today.
Closet.
A real modern closet is "Mi- lady's" delight. Not the little stuffy affairs, jammed in just anywhere, but closets of ample size containing hat boxes, large drawers for gowns and skirts and everything convenient- ly arranged. A few years ago a good wife no doubt indulged in some very un-Christian like thoughts when she was forced to grope around in the dark closet for her favorite gown or slippers. Now when she wishes to select her gown, the electric light in the closet is automatically turned on when she opens the closet door, and automatically turned off when she closes it.
There are doubtless 1000 more home conveniences the writer could describe had he the space.

Most of the things mentioned, however, are within your reach and you can have them at a small cost if you will employ an architect who make- a specialty of designing homes, features described, plus many we have not mentioned are all incorp in every set i if i iur plans.
A Modern Laundry
Fifty years ago, Monday was always called "Blue Monday" on account of the confusion and gloom it generally cast over the entire household when the tubs and steaming boiler were brought into the kitchen for the week's washing.
Today, if you will allow us to design your new home, we will incor- porate a laundry in the basement that will transform "Blue Monday." drudgery, into "Sunny Monday" a day of pleasure to which the housewife will look forward with as much anticipation as the Master of the house looks forward to Sunday. She will admit that wash day is a pleasure in- stead of a burden.
She may have a power washer, electric or steam dryer, gas or electric mangle for ironing the flat pieces and a gas or electric iron for the finest linens or lingerie and best of all, and electric iron to keep her cool and comfortable while doing this ironing. These features can all be incorpor- ated in your new home if you let us plan it for you.

A Few Instructions To My Prospective Clients.
When ordering plans, state correctly the number of the plan desired and as to whether it is to be as shown in the book, or "reversed." This means a transposition of the rooms from one side to the other. I will blue-print any set of plans "reversed" without extra charge.
All orders for plans must be accompanied by a certified check, P. O. or express money order. Orders that are not will be sent by express C. O. D., with the privilege of examination.
Working Drawings.
A full set of working plans comprises the floor plans of all stories drawn to one-quarter inch scale, with all necessary notes and figured dimensions plainly marked on same, four elevations and sections showing the method of construction, size of timbers, etc., as well as all necessary interior and ex- terior details worked out to scale and full size. Also an original set of typewritten specifications, embracing all materials and labor required for the completion of building, masonry, carpenter work, painting, wiring, etc.
One full set of blue-prints and one copy of specifications will be under- stood to complete an order. Any additional copies will be charged for at the rate of five dollars for a full set of bine-prints and specifications.
Alterations.
Such minor alterations as changing the position of a door or window, or slight interior rearrangement not affecting the outside walls or outside door and window openings, will be made without additional charge. By inserting a slip-sheet in the specifications we can remove any possibility of there being a lot of bills of extras after the building is completed.
If you care to lay out your own idea of a floor plan, make a rough sketch of same and send it to me, together with the number of the design you like best, and I will make you a special price on original plans.
Bill of Materials.
Upon request I will furnish a bill of materials for any design in the book for $5. But my plans and specifications are so prepared that estimates for lumber, mill work, etc., can be made directly from them, without going to the unnecessary expense of a bill of material. In my mind, the only person to make such a bill, is the contractor or builder who is going to put the material into the building. He can follow his own bill with far greater economy than one made by some one else.
Any person who has purchased a plan of me, may feel at perfect liberty to write or call upon me during the progress of his work, for information or advice pertaining to the construction of same. I make a special aim to have my clients so well pleased with my plans, that they will be willing to recom- mend me to their friends who contemplate the building of a home. I do not design houses exclusively, but plan buildings of all characters, and will be pleased to give you prices on such plans.

New England Colonial Design — No. 966
Cost to build, $3,800.
This is from actual figures after this house has been duplicated in one of the largest cities in the United States four times. This plan is unique as it is the only plan designed up to the present time that can be adapted to five distinct styles of architecture without changing the doors or windows, or materially affecting the general plan in any way. We have this house made up as an old New England Colonial, Craftsman style, and English half-timber. The above three as shown. The size of the house is 26 feet wide and 28 feet deep over the main part. There is a sun room on the side which is 10 feet" 6 inches wide, thus making a frontage of 36 feet 6 inches. Necessarily this calls for at least a 40 or 50 foot lot, or one wider still is even more appropriate for this home. This is such a good design that it is really unnecessary to write a word of description as the floor plans illustrated shows a home that is complete. There is not one wish that one thousand different home lovers have ever expressed but what are all included in this little home. The sun room and the sleeping porch in ten years time are going to be the only kind of piazzas that will be put in homes1, as in a cold climate a piazza around the front and sometimes around the entire sides keeps out the sunshine from all the rooms and is only livable three months out of the twelve at the most.

In your sun room we put in a radiator so that they are livable for 365 days in the year.
There is a full basement under this entire house. First story 9 feet, second story 8 feet. These heights are in the clear. First story is finished throughout in birch with birch floors throughout both first and second stories. Red oak or gum could be used if one desired. The second story is finished in pine to paint, with birch doors to stain mahogany color to give the old Colonial interior finish for the chambers.

The wide cornice is supported by heavy sawed brackets. The ex- terior has a massive and substantial appearance and yet suggests comfort. Width 40 feet, depth 32 feet. Lumberman's home at Pierre, S.

The living and dining rooms can be prettily finished in gum and the balance of the first story in natural birch, and the second story in white enamel pine. Birch floors are preferable. In all, this plan possesses a great deal of merit and excels in home comforts and conveniences. Cost to build, $3,800. Complete set of plans and specifications for $25.

Design— No. 851
The residence design is that of a much more pretentions building being a full two story house which you will discover by examining the exterior and floor plans carefully, but the double pitched gable in front really gives the effect of a cottage exterior. There is also an unusually large attic which can be used for amusement or a billiard room.
27 feet wide and 28 feet deep over the dining room side. The rooms are nicely arranged there being a library in front, which can be used as a music room, den, or even a bedroom, if one desires, by closing it off with a sliding door. There could be a door cut through from this room into the hall, so as to be able to go into the second story without going through the living room. The stairs lead to the attic from the hall, and in the first story there is a combination so that you can go from the kitchen as well as from the front way. First story finished in gum or red oak, second story pine to paint. This house will cost $3,200 to build. Complete set of plans and specifications for the sum of $25.

A Beautiful Bungalow Home — No. 891
Width 34 feet, and depth 28 feet, over the main part. This exterior is very simple, but yet how beautiful. The piazza is built of brick, laid hit- and-miss, instead of having the regulation round columns and turned balusters. The walls are shingled and stained a soft brown. The arrange- ment of interior is ideal and affords five splendid sleeping rooms, if so many are desired. However, the estimated cost does not include the finishing up of the second story, and it could be left unfinished until more chambers were needed. P"irst story finish red oak or gum, birch or maple floors. Birch floors throughout. Cost to build, $2,650. Price of plans and specifications, $20.

Simplicity in Bungalow Architecture — No. 894
With 26 feet, depth 46 feet. Simplicity is the key-note of this charm- ing bungalow. Just the stone piazza, placed to one side and the wide pro- jecting eaves are required to give it the charm and homelike air. The fire- place in living room is placed directly in front of the opening into dining room, which has a tendency to make that room cheerful during meals. At the rear of kitchen is a combination grade entrance and inside stairway to cellar. Birch or gum finish and maple floors. Cost to build, $2,600. Price of plans and specifications, complete, $16.

Its popularity is undoubtedly due to its beautiful exterior. The roof has an open cornice supported by sawed and dressed rafter ends, and a single low dormer. The arrangement of the rooms is ideal. An economical feature is the position of the chimney which provides a flue for the fire-place, one for the heating plant and kitchen range, a com- bination which eliminates an extra chimney and saves probably $120.

Your House Can Have Fire Proof Walls
At About the Cost of Wood if You Build of
Load Bearing Tile
(Licensed under the Wilson System Bearing Wall Construction, United States and foreign patents pending and allowed.)
Fire resisting construction has proved beyond a doubt that it pays even when it costs more. If you build any house in this book of DENISON LOAD BEARING TILE, you will get fire-proof walls at just about the cost of ordinary firsl-class wood construction ; sometimes a trifle more, and sometimes even less. A wooden house covered with metal lath and stucco costs the same or more than a house built with
DENISON LOAD BEARING TILE walls.
Built of DENISON LOAD BEARING TILE a house would be warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and your insurance would be less —besides an added safety from fire, which no amount of insurance can give you. Your house would be absolutely moisture proof and absolutely rat and vermin proof.
The department of Buildings of the city of Minneapolis has proved by actual test that DENISON LOAD BEARING TILE will withstand a pressure of over one hundred and forty thousand (140,000) pounds per square foot of bearing surface. That means that a DENISON TILE wall is stronger than a brick wall, yet costs prac- tically the same as wood. Tests showing the same results have also been made by State Testing Laboratories of Iowa, Wisconsin and other states, but of course the best proof of all is the satisfactory use of the tile in hundreds of buildings, great and small.
DENISON LOAD BEARING TILE walls may be faced with stucco (or brick veneer if desired) without furring and lathing, or other treatment of any sort. When used for barns, outbuildings, factories, etc., the tiles are made with smooth outside faces, and need not be finished in any way.
We have said enough to make a wise homebuilder want to know more. Take our ad- vice and Write us NOW — before you go any further with your building plans. You '11 be sur- prised to see what can be done with DENISON TILE.
