Overview of Classic Home 035, designed by George W. Repp, Architect.
"Although the roof of this six-room English cottage has a low effect, it attains sufficient height for two fine bedrooms on the second floor. To gain the best effect, this house should be built close to the ground in front, with the grade sloping to the rear, where basement windows are located. As there is a bath and bedroom on the ground floor, only the four lower rooms need be finished at first, leaving the upper floor until later. If, however, the rooms upstairs are also finished when the house is built, the bedroom and bath on the main floor may be replanned."
