An increasing demand for the low-
cost small house was reported by Mil-
ton W. Pettibone, Detroit architect,
to the design class in Domestic Archi-
tecture of the architecture college

low-cost houses in Michigan over a
period of years. He described a small
house as one .costing from four thos-

affected the cost of the house
