..AFTER SEVEII YEARS, IN PERFECT CONDITION_INSIDE AND OUT"

UILT in 1940, this attractive home demonstrates the many advantages to be gained through Douglas fir plywood Dri-bilt construction. Architect Edwin J. Peterson of Spokane used plywood for both interior and exterior surfaces because it lent itself so admirably to his clean-cut, modern design and provided permanent wall surfaces that would withstand extremes in temperature. The plan was laid out on 4-foot modules, taking advantage of the erection-economy offered by standard 4'x8' panels. Mr. Peterson says: "After seven years, this house is in perfect condition. The interior panels proved to be excellent for a variety of finishes, such as the plain painted living room, the papered bedroom and the canvas-covered bath."
