Here is a perfect little traffic stopper if ever we saw one! When Builder Arthur E. Krumwiede of Ohio set his hand to designing this gem of a house for Mr. and Mrs. Alfred H. Obrock, he put into it every ounce of skill and taste garnered through years of designing fine homes in the Midwest. And it shows. Note the fine proportions of the house, the snug, low look of it, the fine craftsmanship in the details the wood dentiles along the eaves, the subtle curve of the opening framing the garage door, the good mass of the chimney, the expert handling of the traditional entrance. Inside the house, this same loving detail follows through. Though the living areas comprise hardly more than 1200 square feet (the house looks much more impressive because of the bedroom setback and the attached breezeway and garage), the planning makes it live like much more. You step into a separate entry which opens in turn to a big 15'-0 by 21'-8" living room with beautifully paneled fireplace wall; especially designed base, casing, and cornice details. There is space for dining in the living room and plenty of space for cozy suppers in the kitchen. It is possible to walk directly from car through garage, breezeway, kitchen into the bedrooms without passing through the living room. Small but perfect, say we; perfect for a young family starting out or an older couple when the children are married.
