I'm seeking other homes built from Keith's Home Plan Model 1070. The model home for No. 1070 was apparently built in Southern California in 1904 or earlier. The design was featured in The Ladies Home Journal, the book "Bungalows, Camps and Mountain Homes", and even the Pee Gee Paint catalog. You can see links to all these pages at the site for the George E. Hatcher House (http://hatcherhouse12144.blogspot.com/), a Model 1070 in Rensselaer, NY.
Walter J. Keith published Keith's Magazine on Homebuilding, and his architectural firm offered a wide selection of bungalow plans by mail order. These were not kit homes, as Keith believed his customers got a better value from getting their labor and materials locally. I would love to see photos of your 1070 home, especially the fireplace.
