Six-Room Bungalow with Special Features.
Six-Room Bungalow with Special Features
Occasionally one sees a first rate bungalow plan that requires
a building lot of only moderate width. Such a design is by far
the most practical; for in the majority of places ground comes
so high that the prospective home builder has to be satisfied
with, at the most, about 50 feet.
Here is a very well arranged bungalow measuring 34 feet in width
by 43 feet 6 inches along the depth of the lot. The rooms are of
good size, too ,—the living room measuring 20 feet 6 inches
across the width and extending back 14 feet.
The arrangement of rooms in this bungalow has been worked out just
about as well as is possible. The three problems of planning where
all rooms are on one floor are satisfactorily handled. They are
first, that the sleeping rooms should be quiet and private; that
is, separated from the rest of the house and accessible without
having to pass through the general living room or other important
room in order to get to them. Second, the kitchen and maid's room
should be away by themselves. And third, the living room-dining
room combination must be large, well-lighted, commodious apartments
and should be placed on the sunny side of the building.
It is no easy task to plan out a dwelling of moderate size and
cost and take care of all three of these factors in good shape.
This present design seems an unusually happy solution of the problem.
Notice how the two principle bed rooms are placed with reference
to the bath room, living room, clothes closet space, etc. The rear
bed room even has a

large sleeping porch in connection with it. Notice, too, the placing
of the kitchen. It is a sunny, cheerful work room, convenient to
the dining room, yet separated from it by two doors and the cellar
stairway hall, which keep the kitchen clatter and cooking smells
from the rest of the house.
Double doors, glazed their full length, are used to shut off the
dining room from the front room, when desired. The living room
has a big open fire-place with built-in seat at each side. The
fireplace chimney comes out in the front wall and makes one of
the striking features of the outside appearance of this bungalow.
This chimney is laid up in dark brown, rough face brick. Quite
a novelty is the small square window that pierces the chimney breast
just above the fireplace mantel.
The outside of this bungalow is covered with wide boards from grade
up to the window sills. From there up narrow siding is used.
The exterior design is simple, and yet very attractive. It is a
design that lends itself well to landscape gardening attention —a
few shrubs and vines, a border of bright flowers along the walk,
some well-kept sod.
It is easy to care for some houses —they seem to invite attention
by their own attractive neatness. This little home place is of
that sort. It is orderly.
