dining room at the front of the house on 

 account of the view or for any other rea- 

 son, the den may be placed in the space 

 occupied by the 

 pantry and the pan- 

 try may be moved 

 to the rear or some 

 other location. 



In Figure 9 we 

 have a study of a 

 three ibedroom 

 bungalow which, 

 while not the most 

 artistic study 

 shown in this arti- 

 cle, is a very com- 

 pact arrangement 

 and a reasonable 

 plan to build from. 

 Every line is 

 straight and economy is the principal 

 feature. By making the house a trifle 

 wider and running a hall down through 

 the center so that all bedrooms would 

 enter on to it and thereby be in direct 

 communication with the bathroom,, the 

 arrangement would be greatly improved. 

 Figure 10 shows a very simple bunga- 

 low and is the cheapest study shown. It 

 is the aim, from the viewpoint of econ- 

 omy, to keep any type of house as nearly 

 square as possible and to meet this the 

 study shown in this figure was worked 

 up. The one great drawback to this 

 particular study lies in its only having 

 one bedroom, but that disadvantage can 

 be readily overcome by working up a 

 plan from the study 

 and putting in as 

 many bedrooms as 

 may be desired, al- 

 ways remembering 

 to keep the house 

 as nearly square as 

 possible, provided 

 the lot on which it 

 is to be erected is 

 wide enough to al- 

 low for it.

which has unlimited possibilities at the 

 hands of a clever designer. This study 

 allows the kitchen to be well ventilated 

 from three sides, which is a very good 

 feature. The stairs going up to the bil- 

 liard room in the attic are just off the

 visitors are to be entertained in this 

 manner. The cellar stairs go down from 

 the kitchen and are right under the 

 stairs going up into the attic, thereby

the house give the plan the desirable 

 features mentioned under Figure 4. 



Figure 12 shows a study which strong- 

 ly resembles that shown in Figure 11, 

 excepting that the bedroom is the room 

 that is ventilated from three sides in- 

 stead of the kitchen. The stairway to 

 the second floor and the arrangement of 

 the bathroom directly off the living 

 room should also be noticed. The more 

 the designer thinks over this study the 

 more ideas will be obtained from it, 

 since the study lends itself readily to a 

 great many different arrangements which 

 are pleasing and economical. The en- 

 trance into the living room from the side 

 of the house instead of from the front in 

 the conventional manner is greatly ap- 

 preciated, especially in a summer home 

 that faces a lake or other body of water. 

 In a case of this kind it is always ad- 

 visable 

 and de- 

 sirable 

 to place 

 the en- 

 trance 

 on the 

 side of 

 the 

 house 

 oppo- 

 site to 



that from which the prevailing wind is. 

 This placing of the door will be greatly 

 appreciated when the wind is blowing a 

 heavy rainstorm ahead of it and driving 

 the water through every possible open- 

 ing, so that it is not only impossible to 

 use the door but it is almost impossible
