I Grew Up in a House Very Similar to This

[h/t Rick]

The bedrooms were flipped back to front from the plan above, but otherwise the layout was very similar…

This is the only plan of that house I could ever find, and this was squirreled away in my Dad’s effects. And even this isn’t totally the same as ours. (There was a normal fireplace on the back wall—not a room divider—between the Living Room and Dining Room,  and the Dining Room itself was actually a separate room with a large opening to the Living Room.) It amazes me that in our current era of McMansions how tiny these rooms were—and it was the norm for the time and seemed perfectly normal.

And the only reason I don’t (although he certainly checks off all the boxes) is that I would also have to accept all the rest of the Biblical bullshit and “accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior”—and I doubt I will ever be that desperate.
