The bungalow shown in Figs. 

 20, 21 and 22, is the home of Miss 

 Ida Pauline Bear. It is remodeled 

 from an old building removed 

 from an adjacent piece of property to its present site, and 

 renovated into a livable dwelling. I'he original building 

 measured twelve by twenty-four feet and contained one 

 undivided room. It had a good shingled roof with wide 

 eaves, a good iirm floor, a substantial up and down siding 

 of rough twelve-inch redwood boards and three-inch bat- 

 tens. All the timber was in excellent condition. This is 

 the building as it stood before the transformation. After 

 the building was moved and placed in its present position, 

 it was partitioned off into two rooms, a living-room twelve 

 by fourteen feet and a dining-room ten by twelve feet. At 

 the back, a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen were added. 

 A porch with a pergola roof of rough two by four foot 

 redwood timbers, was extended almost across the entire 

 front. On the outer side of the porch rail, a fourteen foot 

 flower box was made of one by twelve foot rough boards. 

 This box, with its bright geraniums and trailing vines, adds 

 wonderfully to the appearance of the house. 



The floors of the interior are oiled and stained an oak- 

 colored brown, while the woodwork has been finished in the 

 same tone. The living- and dining-room walls are 

 paneled to the height of five feet. The ceiling of the 

 former is of tongue and groove beading, stained dark 

 brown. Above this paneling is a three-foot frieze of tan 

 burlap. In one corner is a small built-in bookcase, effec- 

 tively hung with stenciled curtains. The frieze above the 

 paneling in the dining-room is of Java coffee matting, or 

 sacking. This is an inexpensive material, and makes a most 

 attractive wall covering for use in small cottages and bunga- 

 lows. Each sack, when split, contains four yards, thirty 

 inches wide, and costs but fifteen cents a sack. Waterproof 

 curtains have been so arranged that they can be lowered 

 during a storm. 



Actual cost of this bungalow was as follows : Old build- 

 ing, $100; moving old building, $25; plumbing, $150; lum- 

 ber, $70; carpenter work, $30. Total, $375.
