  log 
  bungalow

  a 
  log 
  cabin, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  real 
  

   eyrie, 
  on 
  a

  ' 
  Cliff 
  Eyrie" 
  — 
  A 
  Log 
  Cabin

  water. 
  It 
  was 
  a 
  house 
  designed 
  for 
  this 
  particular 
  site, 
  and 
  

   is 
  built 
  of 
  log 
  slabs 
  for 
  the 
  exterior 
  walls, 
  fastened 
  to 
  upright 
  

   stud 
  construction. 
  A 
  veranda 
  is 
  built 
  across 
  the 
  front, 
  from 
  

   which 
  steps 
  lead 
  to 
  a 
  miniature 
  wharf 
  and 
  spring 
  board 
  for 
  

   diving; 
  from 
  this 
  veranda 
  one 
  can 
  get 
  quite 
  satisfactory 
  fish- 
  

   ing 
  during 
  the 
  season. 
  

  

  The 
  interior 
  is 
  treated 
  in 
  a 
  simple 
  manner; 
  the 
  timbers 
  

   are 
  exposed 
  to 
  view, 
  and 
  effective 
  results 
  are 
  obtained 
  through 
  

   the 
  use 
  of 
  stains. 
  The 
  living-room, 
  where 
  both 
  the 
  cooking 
  

   and 
  dining 
  is 
  done, 
  has 
  a 
  large 
  open 
  fireplace 
  built 
  of 
  cobble- 
  

   stone 
  picked 
  up 
  from 
  the 
  shore. 
  The 
  bedroom 
  is 
  provided 
  

   with 
  folding 
  screens 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  rooms 
  when 
  

   desired. 
  The 
  cost 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  was 
  $500. 
  For 
  houses 
  of 
  

   this 
  character 
  the 
  location 
  is 
  ideal, 
  perched 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  on 
  a 
  high 
  

   cliff, 
  and 
  embowered 
  by 
  large, 
  over-topping 
  trees, 
  with 
  the 
  

   waters 
  of 
  the 
  Sound 
  beating 
  against 
  its 
  foundations. 
  Truly 
  

   a 
  charmingly 
  situated 
  house 
  built 
  at 
  small 
  cost.
