Narrative from the general building plans [November, 1943]


 
The "G" house ... is a story and a half in height and
has four bedrooms. The outside dimensions are slightly
smaller than the "D" house to which it best compares
in kind and probably type of occupancy. In
arrangement, however, it is different from all the
others. It has one bedroom on the first floor and
three on the second. The upstairs has a full bathroom
and the first floor has a lavatory and water closet.
This plan allows great flexibility since the first
floor bedroom can be used as a study, as a residential
office if necessary, or as a special guest room. The
living room size is about average for the larger
houses; the dining room is smaller than most. The
kitchen we well arranged with ample cabinet space. The
circulation in this house is exceptional, for one may
pass from the kitchen direct[ly] to the front part of
the house without going through the dining room or
living room. Like the "E" house, it has a front hall
and a recessed door. The roof has several dormers and
an off center ridge on the front wing which lend it an
informal air. In appearance it would look well in any
pleasant village of modestly priced houses. These few
houses are grouped principally in two locations;
approximately half in Area 3 near the river and the
other half in Area 2 close to the Elementary School.
In service equipment, laundry, and so forth, the "G"
house is similar to all single and duplex houses in
the project.
