ong-Needed Home Management House. Being Built

......____ ____.)LI VL The above architect's sketch of the new
home management house now under con-
SOUTH CAMPUS struction on Eastern's southeast campus
accents the long low lines of the beautiful
'vloode~ ranch-type building.

Area Although the floor plan below shows
only one unit, the structure actually con-
sists of two adjoining complete houses,
both of which have two bedrooms, a di-
rector's room, a nursery and guest room,
kitchen, two baths, and dining and living
space. A garage adjoins each living room
with a flagstone breezeway between each.

For ten years the college has used rented
houses, often poorly adapted to the pur-
pose, for home management teaching. In
those ten years seven different houses
were used.

The plot plan above shows the location of the new l------
liome management house with respect to the Booth Library
~nd outdoor theater. For alumni unacquainted with these,
it is better described as being placed just north of the
pld sweet gum grove at the southeast corner of the main
Jampus.

The structure is being built by the W. H. Franklin
(::ompany of Springfield, main contractor for the resi·
hence halls also under construction. Total cost, with
tquipment, will be in the vicinity of $100,000. The build-
ngs will be model homes in every way. They were plan:..

ed by Clarence · Warren Doll, A.I.A., with the approval
fJf C. Herrick Hammond, supervising arcl!itect. The Col-
l:-ge home economics staff was consulted on many details.

Among special features are radiant floor heat, car-
a>eted floors in all rooms except kitchen, utility, and
~ths, and roll away beds.
