di Cmambcu II (I First floor plan Second floor plan chambers, a por- tion of the larger one being curtained off for a dressing- room, and at the front opens the up- per veranda equipped as an out- door sleeping-room. J he cost com- plete of the pur- chase and alter- ations was but five hundred dol- lars, and the result is an attractive, livable home, that serves as a residence for its owners six months of the year. The presentation of this ar- ticle illustrates the possibilities of many of the discarded build- ings which are so frequently seen along the seashore. The subject is presented in so in- teresting and pleasing a man- ner as to be readily understood, and will be very helpful to any one who is desirous of secur- ing a habitation for the sum- mer months at a small expense. There is no question but that there are many people who would like just such a house as the one illustrated here- with, and the publication of it is a timely one, for use in a study of the subject for the coming year, for the best time to select a site is during one's vacation.
