Abstract
To demonstrate that quick and easy savings can be made in small home construction, a research contracted was executed between the University of Illinois and the Housing and Home Finance Agency. Under this contract, the Small Homes Council developed evidence showing that dwellings which meet this country's high standard for family living can be produced under today's conditions of home financing and construction. This evidence is in the form of material and labor cost-data for two demonstration houses built in Champaing, Illinois, in thes ummer of 1952.
