Seven Room Brick and Wide Boarded Bungalow
Here is a very home-like dwelling of the western
bungalow type. The foundation courses up to the window sills are
of brick; above, wide resawed hoards are used. These are laid about
8 inches to the weather and have a rough surface which takes a
stain, brown or dark green, very nicely, producing a rich, warm
appearance.
The trim around doors and windows and around the cornice is stained
or painted in a color contrasting with the rest of the house. There
is a chance for a very artistic effect in this bungalow by properly
choosing the colors for brick work, siding, and roof.
The interior of this bungalow is typical of the best modern arrangement.
The living room is large, 14 by 19 feet, and connects freely with
the dining room through a broad colonnade opening. The dining room
measures 15 by 17 feet. Both of these apartments are elegantly
finished with ceiling beams, arranged in an ornamental way.
The kitchen is well placed and is just the right size for easy
housekeeping. The pantry has a place for built-in refrigerator,
to be iced from the porch. The cellar stairs, down to the fruit
and vegetable cellar, open handily from the kitchen.
This design is popular because of the fine down-stairs bedroom
from whichopens the screened porch. One who has ever slept in a
screened porch room will never be satisfied with any other.
The bathroom opens from the down-stairs bedroom, and is of generous
size. Note the two large closets on this floor.
Opening from the living room is a comfortable den or library 12
by 13 feet. The stairway goes up from here.
First Floor Plan
On the second floor are one large bed-room, a smaller
room, designated "sewing room," toilet, and two large
storage rooms.
An exceptional amount of good, use-able living space is secured
in this dwelling for a bungalow of its dimensions. For a building
lot of 40 feet or more, nothing could be better.
