12—Bungalow at Pasadena, California, Containing Eight Rooms, and Costing $4,000. The Garden with 
its Pool and Fountain, its Palms and Plants, Which is so Happily Placed between the Wings of 
the Bungalow, is an Interesting Feature 
obtained. ‘The color scheme is also an important matter to 
consider, as well as the furniture which is to be selected. The 
living-room shown in Fig. 2 has a good mantel and fur- 
nishings in good taste. 
The ‘“‘Cottage” bungalow, Fig. 1, built for Mr. Seymour 
FE. Locke from his own designs, is very picturesque in its 
elevations, and while really a two-story house, its outlines 
are characteristic of the bungalow. ‘The oriel bay window 
terminating in a tower is a pleasant feature. ‘The cobble 
stone underpinning, pillars to the piazza, and chimney are 
also interesting. ‘The building above is constructed of stucco, 
tinted a deep yellow, while the sash and trimmings are painted 
old ivory white. The roof is covered with shingles stained 
a brilliant red. The house has a central hall, which is trimmed 
with Oregon pine stained and finished in a soft brown 
color. The sand finished walls are treated in a tan shade. 
The staircase rises up to a broad 
landing from which the main 
stairs ascend to the second story; 
the rear stairs are in combination 
with the front and descend from 
this platform. Ornamental

is treated with white enamel 
L paint, and it is furnished 
with porcelain fixtures and 
exposed nickelplated plumb- 
ing. There is a cellar under 
part of the house, contain- 
ing a apparatus 
and fuel rooms. ‘The shed 
and servant quarters are 
in a small building erected at the rear of the house. 
Mr. Locke was also the architect of the bungalow pre- 
sented in the illustrations shown in Figs. 4 and 5. ‘This plan 
and the elevations are given for the purpose of showing the 
typical bungalow, built with all the living and sleeping-rooms 
placed on one floor. The exterior walls and roof are shingled 
and are stained with a harmonious effect, and the under- 
pinning and chimneys are built of cobble stones. 
In the center of the house is the main living-room, which 
is furnished with paneled walls in chestnut, a ribbed ceiling 
extending into the form of the roof, a nook with paneled seat 
and bookcases and an open fireplace. “The room is entered 
from the north side of the house, while the living-piazza is 
placed at the south side and is reached through French win- 
dows from the living-room. On one side of the living-room 
are the dining-room, kitchen, servants’ bedrooms, and their 
dependencies, while at the other 
side a door opens to a small hall 
from which access is obtained to 
the three bedrooms and _ bath- 
room, all treated in an artistic 
manner, and with every modern 
convenience. There is a cellar

Mr. Joseph J. Blick, of Pasa-

the bungalow shown in the illus-

typical of the bungalow, with all 
its rooms placed on one floor. 
The arrangement of this bunga- 
low is quite unusual. The plan 
would seem to indicate that the 
chimney was first built, at the 
back of which was placed the 
patio, and in the front the ingle- 
nook, and beyond the large 
square living-room, at either side 
of which are built two long wings
