Miracle of Remodeling
Provides Home for Vet
|A MIRACLE OF REMODELING is. demonstrated by these “Before”
(and “After” pictures of an abandoned horse barn which was
| turned into an attractive five-room cottage for a war veteran
and his family in Montclair, N.
J. The white clapboard siding
iis set-off with green shutters, and a roof of matching green
{ asphalt shingles,
| In remodeling the impossible sometimes is possible. The
accompanying illustrations demonstrate the miracles that
can be accomplished, even with an old horse barn, which was
transformed into an attractive five-room cottage for a war
veteran and his family, desperately in need of a home.
The run-down, abandoned barng
stood in the backyard of a home
with an acre of lawn in Montclair,
New Jersey. The owner’s son
served as a Navy lieutenant in the
war and was married in Florida.
When he was demobilized, he
icame home with his wife and
little daughter, and, like so many
other veterans, found no place to
| live unless they doubled-up with
his family. He had given up his
search for a home of his own
when he got an inspiration from
the abandoned barn where he had
played as a youngster.
He called in a friend, C. Wesley
Townsend, a Montclair contrac-
tor, and put the problem up to
him. Could he remodel the barn
and make it a livable cottage? At
first dubious, Townsend finally
accepted the challenge and went
to work. The result is a pleasant,
white clapboard cottage, set off
with green shutters and a roof of
matching green, fire-resistant as-
phalt shingles, selected for their
added protection and beauty.
Horse Stalls Now Living Room
On the first floor, where horses
‘once munched hay, there is a large
{living room, 12 feet, six inches by
19 feet, six inches, with a brick
fireplace; a bedroom, with adjoin-
ing lavatory; a compact kitchen
and three storage closets. In the
bedroom, the door to one of the
stalls was kept intact, to give the
appearance of a Dutch door, with
the top and lower half swinging
open. The only addition was a
laundry room built on the side of
the barn which became the rear
of the cottage.
The second floor, formerly the
hay mow, contains the master
bedroom, with four closets tucked
away under the eaves, a nursery
and bath. The: dormer, through
which hay was once hauled into
the mow, now provides a window
for the nursery.
The only major structural prob-
lems confronting Mr. Townsend
were overcoming the steepness of
the steps which led to the mow;
raising the rear half of the roof
to ‘provide additional headroom,
and installing an adequate shower
in the second-floor bath for the
former lieutenant, who is a tal
man. :
The entire remodeling job re-
quired only a short time, but the
young war veteran and his family
were so eager to move in, they set
up housekeeping in their new
home before it was completed.
