1908 Radford's design 5072

This is from Radford's Rustic Bungalows The Complete 1908 Catalog, a Dover reprint. (I did not find a copyright anywhere, so hope I'm not infringing.)

Classic exterior



Notice anything strange about the floor plan compared to the picture of the house? (Left click to see a larger view.)



Before I give away the answer, note that the only place for a dining table is in the living room. Tiny area. One bedroom is really small, too. There isn't an inside wall for a piano, either.

I haven't actually researched this, but at a quick glance it looks like $10.00 was the going price for plans for a two bedroom house.






Answer: no stairs to the second floor. So many older homes had large to huge unfinished attics without access to them. Strange.
