  Three 
  Inexpensive 
  Log 
  Bungalows 
  

  

  By 
  Joseph 
  Darlington 
  

  

  BUNGALOW 
  built 
  at 
  

   Deal, 
  N. 
  J., 
  which 
  imitates 
  

   the 
  Mexican 
  hut, 
  is 
  unique 
  

   in 
  every 
  particular 
  owing 
  

   to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  con- 
  

   structed 
  with 
  the 
  refuse 
  

   left 
  from 
  the 
  erection 
  of 
  

   sixteen 
  other 
  cottages 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  previ- 
  

   ously 
  built. 
  This 
  fact 
  is 
  of 
  peculiar 
  interest 
  

   in 
  showing 
  what 
  can 
  be 
  done 
  with 
  odd 
  bits 
  

   of 
  materials. 
  The 
  exterior 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  

   logs, 
  which 
  retain 
  their 
  bark. 
  The 
  frame 
  

   was 
  sheathed 
  and 
  then 
  covered 
  with 
  two 
  

   thicknesses 
  of 
  building 
  paper 
  and 
  painted 
  be- 
  

   fore 
  the 
  logs 
  were 
  put 
  in 
  position. 
  The 
  

   gables 
  are 
  plastered, 
  and 
  stuccoed 
  with 
  brick. 
  

   The 
  entrance 
  is 
  through 
  a 
  Dutch 
  door 
  into 
  

   a 
  living-room, 
  which 
  has 
  French 
  windows 
  

   opening 
  onto 
  the 
  porches, 
  which 
  are 
  on 
  either 
  

   side 
  of 
  the 
  room. 
  The 
  ceiling 
  takes 
  in 
  the 
  

   full 
  height 
  of 
  the 
  building. 
  The 
  walls, 
  to 
  the 
  

   height 
  of 
  seven 
  feet, 
  are 
  wainscoted 
  with 
  

   matched 
  boards 
  stained 
  a 
  dark 
  brown, 
  soft 
  

   in 
  tone, 
  while 
  the 
  trimmings 
  are 
  painted 
  a 
  

   soft 
  cream. 
  The 
  whole 
  is 
  finished 
  with 
  a 
  molded 
  shelf 
  cap. 
  

   The 
  rafters 
  are 
  exposed 
  to 
  view, 
  and 
  are 
  stained 
  a 
  dull 
  green- 
  

   ish 
  color, 
  which 
  gives 
  a 
  sky 
  effect 
  at 
  night 
  when 
  the 
  lower 
  

   part 
  is 
  lighted 
  up. 
  The 
  fireplace 
  runs 
  right 
  up 
  through 
  the 
  

   room, 
  and 
  is 
  built 
  of 
  brick, 
  with 
  hearth 
  of 
  similar 
  material. 
  

   There 
  are 
  two 
  bedrooms 
  and 
  a 
  bathroom 
  on 
  this 
  floor, 
  the 
  

   latter 
  having 
  porcelain 
  fixtures 
  and 
  exposed 
  nickelplated 
  

   plumbing. 
  The 
  second 
  story 
  is 
  reached 
  from 
  living-room 
  

   and 
  from 
  the 
  outside. 
  It 
  contains 
  the 
  man's 
  quarters 
  and 
  

   kitchen 
  completely 
  furnished. 
  

  

  This 
  bungalow 
  was 
  designed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  William 
  G. 
  Massa- 
  

   rene, 
  of 
  New 
  York, 
  who 
  has 
  the 
  happy 
  faculty 
  of 
  creating 
  

  

  A 
  Bungalow 
  Built 
  for 
  Mr. 
  William 
  G. 
  Massarene 
  for 
  Six 
  Hundred 
  Dollars 
  

  

  and 
  producing 
  the 
  most 
  novel 
  and 
  attractive 
  designs 
  for 
  

   bungalows 
  of 
  this 
  character 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  short 
  space 
  of 
  time. 
  

   Mr. 
  Massarene 
  was 
  also 
  the 
  architect 
  of 
  the 
  bungalow 
  

   erected 
  on 
  the 
  Ross 
  and 
  Fenton 
  Farm, 
  at 
  Deal, 
  N. 
  J., 
  and 
  

   illustrated 
  on 
  page 
  255. 
  It 
  contains 
  a 
  living-room, 
  which 
  

   answers 
  as 
  hall, 
  living 
  and 
  dining-room. 
  There 
  are 
  two 
  

   sleeping-rooms 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  floor, 
  with 
  a 
  low 
  second 
  story, 
  

   which 
  spreads 
  the 
  building 
  out, 
  and 
  permits 
  of 
  its 
  being 
  kept 
  

   low 
  and 
  quaint. 
  The 
  construction 
  is 
  simple 
  and 
  cheap. 
  

   There 
  is 
  a 
  brick 
  wall 
  under 
  the 
  outside 
  walls 
  and 
  under 
  the 
  

   center 
  partition. 
  A 
  six-foot 
  cellar 
  is 
  provided 
  under 
  the 
  

   rear 
  portion, 
  which 
  contains 
  wash 
  tubs 
  and 
  furnace.
