The Plan is in the Form of a Bungalow, and Presents a Large Living-Room from 

 Which Wings Extend in Either Direction, One Containing the Kitchen and 

 its Dependencies, and the Other Sleeping-Rooms and Bath 



22 — An Annexed Extension Isolates the Servants' Quarters from the Main Living Quarters 



mentioned, is 

 planned in the bung- 

 alow form ; one 

 large living-room, 

 forming the main 

 part of the house, is 

 placed in the center, 

 while two wings, 

 one containing the 

 owner's sleeping- 

 room and bathroom 

 is thrown out at one 

 corner of the living- 

 room, while a sim- 

 ilar wing contain- 

 ing the kitchen and 

 its dependencies is 

 placed at the op- 

 posite corner of the 

 building. 



The living-room, 23 



which is used for 

 both living and din- 

 ing uses, occupies 

 the main part of the house, 

 and is entered from the 

 porch. This living-room 

 (Fig. 24) is treated with a 

 simple trim of cypress 

 stained and waxed in a soft 

 brown. At one end of the 

 room, which is used for liv- 

 ing purposes, there is built 

 a large open fireplace, con- 

 structed of rock-faced field 

 stone laid up in a rough 

 manner and finished with a 

 neat wooden shelf. At this 

 corner of the room there are 

 comfortable chairs and 

 tables, and a bookcase 

 within easy reach, while at 

 the other end there is the 

 dining-table, which is pulled 

 out into the room when oc- 

 casion requires, and is then 

 placed against the wall when 

 not in use. The trim of the 

 entire house is similar, and 

 the floors throughout are 24- 



laid of maple.

At the back of the living- 

 room there is an archway, 

 which forms an entrance to 

 a corridor extending in 

 either direction. Opposite 

 this archway there is placed 

 a group of windows which 

 present an attractive feature 

 immediately upon passing 

 through the Dutch door at 

 the front of the house. Ac- 

 cess is obtained through this 

 corridor, and also through 

 the attractive little nook at 

 one side of the room, with 

 the kitchen and its depen- 

 dencies, which occupy one of 

 the wings of the house. 

 This kitchen has a good 

 cross ventilation, and is 

 fitted with all the best 

 modern conveniences. 



From the corri- 

 dor access is also ob- 

 tained of the wing 

 to the left of the 

 house, which con- 

 tains the owner's 

 room and one guest 

 room. The bath- 

 room is conveniently 

 placed for use by the 

 occupants of either 

 bedroom. A simple 

 little staircase from 

 the corridor rises to 

 the second floor, 

 which contains one 

 servant's bedroom 

 and storage space. 



The cemented cel- 

 lar contains a 

 vacuum steam heat- 

 ing s y s tern, fuel 

 rooms and storage. 



The Living-Room is Trimmed with Cypress, Stained and Waxed in a Soft Brown. The Fireplace 



is Built of Rock-Faced Stone
