Keenan's Birch Street Home Good Example
Of Effective Use of Limited Ground Space
An outstanding example of a
spacious house on a small city lot
is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rob.
eft Keenan at 2nd and Birch
Streets.
In the careful planning of the
attractive one level home, the
Keenans considered several defin-
ite requirements. They wanted a
all tot o that yard work would
not deprive them of time to enjoy
leisure hour activities (especially
their vacation home on the canal)
Fet they wanted a roomy hoe
.for family living and entertaining
al apace, wen desired, for each
to pursue
member of the family
seclusion, his interests with some degree of
The result is a 78' x 34' home
on a long narrow 124' x 59' lot.
ONE WHO enjoys lovely flowers
and plants as much as Mrs. Keen-
an does, could not completely fore-
go planting area. The "green
thumb" yen is cleverly satisfied
by planters included in the build-
ing plans. One especially appreci-
ated by Mrs. Keenan is 100 feet
long, extending beyond the full
length of the house,
Trees, on the lot before the
house wS built in June of 1958,
were left and flank the slate floor-
ed front entrance porch. The porch
provides a shelter for delicate
plants in brick planters that add
a colorful touch to the entrance.
THE SLATE of the porch ex-
tends into the inside entrance hall.
it's shades of turquoise and grey
are repeated throughout the home.
Golden birch wall paneling is used
in the entrance hall and predom-
inantly throughout the rest of the
rooms, lending a rich warm back-
ground for the Colonial style fur-
nishings and complimentary colors
used in the interior decorations. -
Off of the entrance hall is' the
breakfast room, a favorite gath-
ering place of the family. Both a
round Colonial style maple table
and a breakfast bar are available
for meals and snacks. The break-
fast bar serves a dual role as it is
built into a birch paneled floor to
ceiling wall divider between the
dining area and the kitchn.
Both rooms are coordinated by a
yellow, turquoise color scheme,
blended with the birch paneling
and shades of brown. Pale yellow
translucent cafe curtains are hung
in three tiers in the breakfast
room and a single tier and a va-
lance cover the kitchen window
over the double stainless steel
sink.
PALE Y E L L O W appliances,
built in surface cooking units,
built-in oven, and dishwasher,
along with the birch cupboards ac-
cented with wrought iron hinges I
complete the efficient kitchen.
The dining and living rooms are I
separated by a wall to ceiling Cas- i
cads Norman antiqued brick fire-i
p]ae wal.1. On the dining room I
side a waist high barbecue is built I
into the wall, while on the living
room side of the wall is the fire-
place with its raised slate hesJ'th.
Especially eye catching in the
t,wo rooms is the random Width
oak flooring with dark walnut
pegs. PartiClty covering the dining
room floor is a braided circular
tug itinng the Early Ameri-
can .decor of the maple dining fur-
tue.
