AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



171 



The bungalow stands upon a 

 rocky ledge, not far from the 

 Causeway, in what was for- 

 merly a bit of rough pasture 

 land, covered with a tangle of 

 briars and savins, and it has 

 been transformed into a de- 

 lightful garden, preserving all 

 its natural beauties, while 

 substituting crimson rambler 

 roses for the riotous brambles, 

 and contrasting the brilliancy 

 of garden flowers with the 

 stern severity of the dark rock- 

 savins. 



The house clings to its cliff 

 like a swallow's nest to the 

 eaves, with its overhanging 

 roof thickly set with electric

lights. The two chimneys are 

 of fieldstone from the adjoin- 

 ing land, and its foundation is 

 the solid rock of the ledge 

 upon which it is built. The 

 cellar is deep enough and large 

 enough to accommodate a 

 bountiful supply of coal and 

 wood. It is entered from the 

 kitchen by means of a trap- 

 door in the floor and a short 

 flight of wooden steps. This 

 saves the discomfort of going 

 outside for fuel. 



The house is fully equipped, 

 on a diminutive scale, for 

 housekeeping for a family of 

 two. It contains but two 

 rooms and a bath. The ex- 

 terior finish is of shingle, 

 painted white for the walls 

 and red for the roof. The 

 inside finish is of cypress, se- 

 lected, planed and shellacked. 

 There is no sheathing used. 



Bedroom in the Hammond Bungalow 



The living-room is at the front, facing the ocean, with windows 

 looking southeast and southwest, and with Dutch doors opening from 

 each of three sides. It is open to the rafters, and has a floor of hard 

 pine, polished and covered by a large rug, on which stands a table for 

 books and magazines. All the furniture is either Mission or Colonial. 

 The comfortable couch serves as a bad by night, thus doing away with 

 the necessity of a separate bedroom. Mirrors set into the side of the 

 room increase its apparent length. The balcony at the end is reached by 

 a ladder, and is used for storage. The windowseat in the chimney cor- 

 ner furnishes storage room for bedding, and a large closet is concealed 

 behind the draperies at the right of the door leading into the hallway. 

 The fireplace is handsomely constructed of fieldstone. It has anchors 

 for andirons, and shows decorations of old shells and sea-urchins. 

 Shelves fitted between the timbers o f the framing make handy recep- 

 tacles for books or bric-a-brac. Over door and window frames stand 

 choice bits of china or pottery, while vases of flowers add a finishing 

 touch to the interior. In the hallway steps lead down to the bathroom, 

 which has a western outlook. This is fitted up with a shower-bath,
