Franklin
24 ft. × 32 ft.
over all 7 Rooms
and Bath
For such modest proportions there are few homes presenting greater roominess than the Franklin. Think of it—only 32 ft. long and 24 ft. wide, yet containing a 23 ft. living room, a sizable dining room and kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms, and an additional sewing room, and nursery or extra bedroom.
The generous veranda of this house is a distinctive feature. Notice the graceful harmony between slope of the porch and the main roof. See the brackets, and the exposed rafters. Consider the well-chosen position of the dormers, left and right, the latter being the only one in view from where you look.
Out of the living room mounts a pretty stairway. At the right, a wide opening leads to a delightful dining room. The kitchen connects with a double swinging door, and besides the cabinet contains a closet with room enough to serve a number of purposes. There's a bedroom on the first floor, with its own large closet.
Upstairs—two good-sized bedrooms, both with large closets, and an extra room all centering on the upstairs hall. Notice that a complete bath is here. Particularly note that there are two windows in each bedroom.
It's no wonder that the Franklin is a popular choice among Bennett owners. Such roominess, such completeness is rarely found in a home so inexpensive.
