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.

Wines School Completed: The 38x67-foot auditorium (top) [this photo] of the new, $811,000 Wines Elementary School at Newport and Sunset Rd., features indirect lighting and folding doors which can be pushed back to accommodate overflow audiences in a 25-foot-wide lobby. The auditorium leads to the library. Attractive display cases and glass-backed book shelves are visible at the library's entrance. A typical classroom (bottom view) is 28x29 feet in size, plus coat storage space. Each classroom is self-contained and features two skylights with plastic domes to increase lighting. Glass panels one-third of the way down from hallway ceilings also help brighten the classrooms. The new school will house up to 600 pupils when it is opened in September. A spokesman for Charles W. Lane & Associates of the Ann Arbor area, architect for both Wines and the new Dicken School, said Wines School is complete except for hanging classroom wardrobe doors and some finish grading, seeding, and cleanup around the school grounds.
