Its big windows open to the out-of doors in typical California fashion. Vet it s economically rectangular in stead of sprawled out like many of its California kind. It's therefore an economical home for George Mc Laren, and for you, to build any where--Texas or Oregon or Florida or New York. It's also a home for the couple whose offspring are mak ing their own way now, who there fore don't yen for the expense of keeping up a big, boxy, obsolete house. A NOTEWORTHY economy fea ture, other than its compactness, is the hip roof, which is a Sampson among roofs because it's a natural arch from all four directions instead of two, as is the gable roof. This hip roof costs less because it eliminates that triangular piece of sidewall on the gable ends. The anterior of this home is brick, plaster, and wood siding painted cream.
