Playhouse Plan
 

This is a simple plan. When complete as shown it makes an ideal playhouse for children. The manner of construction is similar to any full-size house with the exception that it is not plastered or lined in any way, the studs and rafters being exposed. As window and outdoor frames, the door and window sash can be purchased pre-made.

The location should be level and stone or brick piers should be built up a short distance for keeping the sills from the ground. The porch is a mere extension of the floor within. both are built up in one piece. The roof extends over the same as the floor.
