FAQs

What are the four plates required for examination in this text?

The text specifies Plate I (First-Floor Plan), Plate II (Second-Floor Plan), Plate III (Front Elevation), and Plate IV (Fireplace and Chimney Details). Each plate should be sent as soon as it is completed for examination and correction.

What rooms and accommodations are required for the frame residence problem?

The residence needs a living room with fireplace, an enclosed porch, a central hall with main staircase and sanitary spaces, a dining room for eight, a kitchen that opens to the hall, cellar access stairs, a kitchen porch, and optional den or study. Second floor includes bedrooms for the owner and wife, the son, and a guest room, plus closets and a hall bathroom; the cellar includes laundry, boiler room and coal bins, and a recreation room.

What site and design decisions must the architect consider in the survey and planning?

The survey shows a 100 by 100 feet lot that is practically level, with sewer and water pipes running through Walnut Avenue, and the house facing west on Walnut Avenue. The architect must account for deed restriction lines showing required setbacks, and plan general matters such as direct steam heat, stucco finish, and insulated walls and roof.
