1940. Designers: A. B. & R. M. Ayres, Architects, of San Antonio, Texas. Builder: Mr. John Westerhoff.

 


HERE'S A NET solution to the problem of a compact design with a convenient room arrangement which has reduced costs to the minimum and which has placed the bedrooms where they take full advantage of the prevailing southeasterly breeze. The exterior walls are of common brick painted white, the shutters and sash are a very deep blue-green, while the roof is of wood shingles painted brown-black. Interior walls and ceilings have been plastered and tinted an oyster white, while floors of clear oak have been stained walnut. The bathroom floor is tiled. A brief hall effects ready communication between all rooms, providing direct access to the bathroom from both bedrooms and other rooms as well. Just inside the entrance is a coat closet, and in both service and main halls and bathroom are linen closets. The living-room is made cozy by the fireplace at the end, while the dining alcove is open to the out-of-doors with its two outer walls almost entirely of windows. The owner's bedroom has direct access to the porch and the outdoors. Designers: A. B. & R. M. Ayres, Architects, of San Antonio, Texas. Builder: Mr. John Westerhoff.
