The dimensions of this stucture was 24X60 with a second story master bedroom using a spiral
staircase and a small lavatory. The first floor would have 2 bedrooms on one end that opened into an open floor plan
with the kitchen occupying the south wall bathroom seperating kitchen and bedrooms. A second floor deck that went around
from one end to the other would have also been installed. This structure would have been earth bermed using the fill
