It's curious to me why the unit in the upper-left corner of this last plan has two bathrooms, yet only one bedroom.

I adore floor plans. So exciting...
very nice homes
I've commented before on floor plans with a large dining room and small kitchen. These apartment plans have dinettes (sensible for saving space) but the kitchens are ridiculous. In the last plan, the kitchenette of the "Sharon" spans a single wall 6 feet across, according to the scale provided. 6 feet is not enough to fit a stove, sink, and refrigerator, never mind having zero counter space. The "kitchen unit" of the companion plan, the "Ford", is a single wall perhaps 7 feet across. And yes, I know that back then some kitchens had iceboxes instead of refrigerators, but even an icebox must take up some space. Unbelievable!
In the one bedroom with two baths Ford unit, the large closet and bath that open into the livingroom would serve a smaller second bedroom by adding a wall across the livingroom at the door to the bath. It's often called a "convertible two bedroom" in apartment living. The Pullman kitchen units aren't as common in contemporary construction as they were back then, but you'd be amazed at the efficiency and style some have these days.
Dick - I rather imagined that extra bath was for something like that arrangement.
I love the human scale of these early-to-mid-century designs. I could see us living in any number of them.
It is kind of odd how all the bedrooms in The Ford have their own outside entrances, however.
