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. The "green
thumb" yen tg 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 was 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.
TIlE 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.
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.
The dining and living rooms are
separated by a wall to ceiling Cas-
cade Norman antiqued brick fire-
place wall. 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.
Especially eye catching in the
two rooms is the random width
ogk flooring with dark walnut
pegs. Partially covering the dining
room floor is a braided circular
rug continuing, the Early Ameri-
can decor of the maple dining fur-
niture. .
WHITE DRAPERIES are at the
large picture Window th/tt ex
tends, into,both rooms. TWO Walls
of the dining rOOm re papered in
white wit a delic/{e design. A
sliding glass door leads from the
roomont0 the patio.
Th ColOnial motif continues in-
to the large living room Which is
furnished in maple. Two outstand-
ing pieces in the room are the r@d
leather davenport, and the maple
electric organ r. MYs. Keenan is/an
accomplished musician and tegch-
ea music in the Shelton grade
schools. On the floor is a striking
braided rug in shades of brown,
black and accented with white.
Birth paneling is used on all of the
walls in the living room.
IN THE BEDROOM wing, which
can be closed off completely from
the rest of the house, ar three
bedrooms and two baths. Each of
the Kennan's two sons has his
own room. Mickey, who is a sen-
ior in high school, has a charcoal
and gray color scheme in his room.
The built in closets are of ma-
hogany. An attractive addition to
his room is the coffee table that
he made from a log burl.
Eddy, who is in the 6th grade
at Evergreen school, has a large
peg board covering one wall of his
room, which iS decorated in brown
and turquoise.
The boys share a large bath
which is done in brown and yel-
low ceramic tile. Glass brick back-
ing planting niches at the front
of the house provide interesting
