Keenan's Street Home Good Example Of iEllecl|vA Use of Umited Ground Space An outstanding example of a spacious house on a small city lot is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert 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 .mall lot so that yard work would not d.priv& them of time to enjoy leisure hour activities (especially their vacation home on the canal) yet they wanted a roomy house far fancily living and entertaining and space, when desired, for each member of the family to pursue his interests with some degree of seclusion. The result is a 78' x 34' home on a tong/larrb'w 124' x 50' lot, ONE WHO enjoys lovely flowers and plants as mlch as Mrs. Keen- an does, could not completely fore- go planting area.

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. Boih rooms are coordinated by a yellow, turquoise color scheme, blended with the birch paneling and shades of brgwn. Pale yellow translucent care curtains are hung in three tiers in the breakfast room and a single tier and a va- lance cover tie kitchen window over the double stainless steel sink. PALE YELLOW appliances, bnilt in surface cooking units, built-in oven, and dishwasher, along with the birch cupboards ac- cented with wrought iron hinges complete the efficient kitchen.

On the dining room side a waist high ba:rbecue is built into the wall, while on the living room side of the wall is the fire- place with its raised slate hearth.
