1940. A home designed by Architects Bruce and Kenneth McKay, and built by the McKay Brothers Construction Company, located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

THE HOME pictured here was designed by Architects Bruce and Kenneth McKay, and built by the McKay Brothers Construction Company, located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mr. Louis E. Jones selected a site on the edge of the city for his home, pictured here, because he was intensely interested in having a garden. Tho there was not a growing thing on the site at the time the home was built, the Joneses planted trees and flowers where fancy and expediency indicated, effectively fitting the home into the scene. Altho built for a small family, and quite compact, the plan of this home allows for rooms of unusually large proportions for a home so small. The hip-roofed dormers and simple entrance give to the exterior a very restful and homelike appearance, enhanced by the decorative detail under the eaves and the shutters at windows and doors. The breakfast space in the kitchen is well placed and, pleasing to the owners, gives a delightful view of the garden.
