The California bungalow in another re- 
spect is different from the Eastern, for the 
reason that it-is designed for all the year 
occupancy, and its construction is char- 
acterized by greater stability in execution, 
and more attention is given to the detail 
than is usually associated with a bungalow 
in the ordinary interpretation of the word. 
The California bungalow is not a par- 
ticularly low-priced type of building, as car- 
ried out in most localities in the Land of 
Flowers. ‘This is a source of surprise to 
the average non-resident, who bases an Plan of Bungalow Shown in Figures 4 and 5. The Plan is Typical of the Bungalow

the simple, almost plain ex- 
terior. The well constructed 
bungalows, of from five to 
eight rooms, usually range 
in cost from $2,000 to 
$6,000. The high price of 
labor in California makes 
the outlay for a bungalow 
greater than it otherwise 
would be, for the reason 
that the chief item of ex- 
pense in the average bunga- 
lows is found in the costly 
and elaborate finish of their 
interiors. In consequence 
of the high price of labor in 
California, bungalows, sim- 
ilar to those illustrated in 
this article, can be built for 
[astern requirements for 
about one-quarter to one- 
third less in the East than 
the prices quoted herewith. 
Great possibilities and un- 
limited scope are permitted 
in the building of a bunga- 
low, and practically every 
known type of wooden con- 
struction, from the shingle 
medium, such as is shown in 
Fig. 7, to the log cabin style 
presented in Fig. 15, has 
been employed in the bunga- 
low on the west coast. In
