LEADER-NEWS BUILDING CLEVELAND OHIO COPYRIGHT 19 16 by RALPH P. STODDARD, SEC'Y A Competition with a Purpose T H E sketches reproduced in this book were selected from nearly three hundred drawings submitted in the competition conducted by The First American Complete Building Show, held in Cleveland, February 16 to 26, 1916. On account of the low cost range and the enthusiastic interest attending the exhibition of the original drawings at the show it was found desirable to publish this collection. The fifty designs shown here are not necessarily the best of the drawings submitted. They were selected to show the greatest possible variety of designs and plans. While the choice of materials was left to the contestants it is a significant fact that ninety per cent of the drawings submitted indicated exterior walls of fire resistive construc¬ tion. Coming from architects in practically every state in the Union this suggests that even a low priced house may be built with outer walls of permanent materials. A large majority of the contestants indicated stucco finish, either upon tile or metal lath. There were many with walls of brick and some of the best of these have been included in this book. Very few of the frame designs came from architects, many were the work of contractors. In the prize list and through¬ out the collection published it will be found that all types are represented. In fixing the price limit at $3,000 the management of The First American Complete Building Show aimed to represent the average man’s house. The competition is unique in that the price restriction is low and this without thought of ’'garden city” or community development. It was not in the mind of those back of the competition to suggest to philanthropists or welfare organizations a series of model houses to be rented to "workingmen.” The purpose of the contest was to meet the demand of the average man—the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker (if any are extant), the clerk, the bookkeeper, the motion picture manager, the baseball player, or anybody else who has a sufficient interest in himself, his family and his city to want to own a home. In Middlewestern cities of America the average cost of single dwellings, according to figures at the city building departments, is approximately $3,000. Few new houses are actually sold for less than that amount, although unfortunately, the buyers of low priced homes are too often exploited by the speculative builder and the so-called "real estate builders,” and the sale price does not always represent good value. To cover up extravagant financing and "easy” terms inferior materials and construction have to be resorted to in order to keep the price down to the demand level. But the offense of the "real estate” house that the competition aims to correct is its lack of art. Street after street in many American cities are being built up from one or two stock plans. There is no more character in the street, the houses or the part of the city they occupy than there is in a mile of fence posts before the barbed wire is put on them. The competition answers more emphatically than words could do the question so often asked by the home builder: "Does it pay to have an architect?” It does pay, not alone in the appearance of the house, but is equally worth while from the standpoints of good materials, construction, economy of space and good planning. The Cleveland chapter American Institute of Architects conducted the competition for the building show and named the following members as a committee to prepare the program and make awards: Charles S. Schneider, chairman, R. Germain Hubby, Albert S. Skeel, H. Dercum and W. R. Watterson. In making awards the committee did not consider any design which exceeded the limit of cost based upon seventeen cents a cubic foot. Draftmanship and rendering did not count as much, in making the awards, as did the general character of the house, practihility of plans and general scheme and consistent designing to keep within the cost stipulated. In this collection, however, there are included houses that, in the opinion of the committee, could not be built for $3,000. The cost of building varies with localities, and the changing market in materials and labor. A Pacific Coast architect who submitted a draw¬ ing writes that houses may be built in that part of the country for twelve to thirteen cents a cubic foot. In the larger centers average construction may exceed seventeen cents a cubic foot, although it was the verdict of the committee that a house could be completed in Cleveland, with good materials and workmanship, for that figure. The price limit of $3,000, in this competition, includes basement under entire area of house, average finish inside including hardwood floors, plumbing, electric wiring, hot air furnace and painting. THE AVERAGE MAN’S HOME T H E first prize drawing, which won for William Olaf Shelgren, Buffalo, the $200 prize, has attracted wide attention and is already being erected in two or three cities. Its feature is the combination of living room and dining room in a way that gives necessary privacy to the dining room. This is accomplished by the arrangement of furniture suggested by Mr. Shelgren in his drawings. The first floor of this house is considered ideal. The designer confesses that there is room for improvement in the second floor in which "head room” was sacrificed to keep the total cubage within the limit specified. At a small additional expense the second story may be built two feet higher without destroying the exterior balance of the house. This would greatly improve the second floor rooms. Mr. Shelgren designed this house for Stucco finish with green slate roof and it is his contention that it may be completed in Buffalo, or other cities of similar size, for $3,000. View in Living Room fejt THE AVERAGE MAN’S HOME The work of the architect is shown in every feature of the First Prize House. Proper wall spaces for the furniture, a feature often neglected in stock plans and "real estate” houses, is amply pro¬ vided for here. By carrying the bay window across the front and placing the entrance at the side, thorough lighting of the living room is assured. It will be observed also that there is a cross draft in every room obtained by having windows in at least two walls and providing proper ventilation.

It is not only fireproof but it protects the home against the far more common troubles of summer heat, winter cold, storms, dampness and decay. Look at these homes repre¬ senting every class of work— study the illustration opposite —and see what Interlocking Tile Walls would do for your home. DENISON INTERLOCKING TILE What It Is-What It Will Do Denison Interlocking Tile is a hard burned, hollow clay tile of special design for bearing walls, curtain walls, foundations and parti¬ tions in all kinds of buildings. Great Strength Walls have great supporting strength because webs stand directly over each other. Walls have great lateral strength against roof thrusts, wind pressure, etc., because each tile is interlocked with those above and below, and because there are no through mortar joints. Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer Walls are non-conductors of heat and cold. The many dead air spaces in the wall and the absence of through mortar joints insulates the interior from the exterior in a way impossible in any other type of masonry wall. Dry Walls The mortar joints through which moisture and dampness penetrate the ordinary wall are inter¬ rupted by air pockets which effectually prevent passage of moisture. Fireproof Walls Denison Interlocking Tile meets the tremendous demand for fireproof walls and offers other equally important features which should give it consider¬ ation over every other fireproof material. Used with Any Finish Partitions a l w a y s dicctly over each other—giving greatest possible sup¬ porting strength. Same tile builds walls any thickness. This is 8-inch wall. Plaster direct tile — no furring necessary. Every mortar joint interrupted by air pocket which pre¬ vents conduction of heat, cold or mois¬ ture. Honeycombed with individual air spaces which make best insulator against heat and cold. 12~inch wall built of the same tile. Denison Interlocking Tile can be used with any type of exterior. It gives a firm dove¬ tailed surface for stucco; it bonds perfectly with face brick; it makes a dry, warm backing wall for stone—or it may be left exposed to the weather with no facing ma¬ terial whatever. Builds Walls Any Thickness One shape and size builds eight, twelve, sixteen inch—or any width of walls. There are no left-over sizes. Lays Up Rapidly The tile is handled by the mason with one hand without laying down his trowel. He has only one shape to handle, no matter what width wall he builds. The tile equals seven common bricks, yet requires only one-third as much mortar.
