I wish the images were better. Probably from the 1930s...

That's a cool looking ART DECO house!
Luv - I love Art Deco.
Thanks for letting me know about Tony Dow.
I took that post down, but kept it for the future.
ADORE this house. We have several in our neighborhood or nearby. They are just beautiful to behold and so well maintained. They look like an old filling station.
I love Art Deco, so I love the style of this house. On the outside. Inside, I hate to carp, but the architect didn't seem to grasp the concept of "attached garage". There's no way to get from the garage into the house. Of course, I'm just assuming it's a garage. It seems to be labeled "Grouse", so who knows? Maybe it's a big room for raising grouse. -Larry
Larry - The plan shows a window on the left side of the garage. The indication for a window is a thin line running perpendicular to the wall. At the back is what appears to be a door. From there, one would have to go toward the laundry room. The door there is not marked very well. Neither is the front door entrance.
Rick, it's hardly worth arguing about, but it looks to me like a window is a double line, with or without a perpendicular line through it, like the stairwell window, and a door is a single line, like the front door and the laundry room door. But even if the thing at the back of the garage is a door, I think the architect missed the point of an attached garage. Let's say it's raining cats and dogs. Let's force the homeowner to go outside from the garage to get into the house!
Really, I just find it fascinating to observe what was important and not so important to home designers then and now. In the 1930s, evidently staying dry from car to house was not important. Big kitchen: not important. Big dining room: very important.
Larry - Ah, I stand corrected! You are very right about the difference between windows and doors. And, you're right about the design, it certainly needs some updates.
