Pleasant Maze: From the outside Capt. and Mrs. Ralph Bentley's home at 2685 Hawthorn Rd. resembles both a modern split-level style of architecture and, from the porch, the bridge of a ship. the kitchen (below) [this photo], is the control tower from which one views the living room in the foreground, and a nursery through the window at the upper left side of the stairs. That suspended balcony above the kitchen counter is a study.

The interior of the William T. Dobson home at 1700 Hermitage Rd contains many features which set it apart from other new homes. Some of these can be seen in the dining and living rooms, pictured here. On the dining room's [this photo] east wall is a built-in buffet, with a New Orleans street scene mural wallpapered on above it. A snack bar has been incorporated into the kitchen wall. A unique fireplace design in the living room sets the pattern for the entire modern-style home. Twenty-six feet of windows run along the south wall of the living and dining rooms, which are separated by a folding door. Generous use of color brightens the entire house.

Ledge Dividers: The ledge shown here divides the upper living room from the lower dining area. No railing is found necessary. This design is possible because of the slope of the land. Three bedrooms are located above the dining room level.
