AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



93 



The bungalow 

 shown in Figures 3 

 and 4 was also built 

 at Pasadena, Cali- 

 fornia, for G. S. 

 Hinckley, Esq. This 

 is particularly an in- 

 teresting bungalow, 

 with its lean - to 

 roofs sloping down 

 in a graceful man- 

 ner over the living- 

 porch, which has 

 massive concrete 

 columns supporting 

 the roof. The un- 

 derpinning and the 

 foundation of the 

 porch are built of 

 brick. The porch 

 floor is laid with red Welsh tile, 

 8x8 inches in size, with an outer 

 edge of red brickwork laid in a 

 herring-bone fashion. The entire 

 building is covered with clapboards 

 on the exterior walls, and the roof 

 is covered with shingles, both of 

 which are stained a dark brown 

 color. The main floor of the 

 house contains a living-room en- 

 tered from the living-porch, a din- 

 ing-room and kitchen. Each is 

 furnished in a most artistic man- 

 ner. The large butler's pantry 

 between the dining-room and kit- 

 chen is complete with drawers, 

 dressers and cupboards. The kit- 

 chen is designed in what is called 

 a "buftet" kitchen. There are no 

 pot closets or storage closets. 

 Counters are built around the 

 room on a level with the sink, 

 under which there are constructed 

 cupboards and drawers. The

spaces above the 

 counter shelf are 

 filled in with shelves 

 enclosed by glass 

 doors. The screened 

 porch, opening di- 

 rect from the kit- 

 chen, contains the 

 laundry tubs, and 

 also affords ample 

 space for the ice- 

 box. A feature of 

 this plan which is 

 quite ideal is the 

 arrangement of the 

 sleeping rooms, 

 which are separate 

 from the main part 

 of the house. There 

 are two bedrooms, 

 provided with ample closets, and a bathroom reached from 

 either of the bedrooms through a small passageway. The 

 bedrooms are finished in a harmonious color scheme, each 

 bedroom being done in one tone. The bathroom is furnished 

 with porcelain fixtures and exposed nickle-plated plumbing. 



The house shown in Figures 5 

 and 6 is that of a summer camp 

 built for William Stanton at 

 "Squirrel Inn," San Bernardino 

 Mountains, Southern California. 

 It Is built of logs carefully hewn 

 on their side, so as to lay flat on 

 top of one another. The gable 

 ends are covered with shingles left 

 rough as they came from the 

 mill. 



There is a piaza extending across 

 the front of the building and re- 

 turning on one side. The first 

 floor contains a large living-room, 

 which is provided with a large 

 open fireplace. This living-room 

 is used for dining. There are also 

 two bedrooms and a bathroom on
