each window in this room, 
is a carved, polished scroll 
of redwood. Above the 
paneling, is a frieze of moss 
green linen, which color 
harmonizes admirably with 
the red of the wood. The 
ceiling is really the climax of 
this delightful room. It is 
entirely of redwood, and so 
highly polished that it is full 
of reflections. Eight by 
eight-inch boards extend 
from one end of the room to 
the other, and these are sup- 
ported by ten by twelve-inch 
box beams. The mantel is of 
square green tiles, the whole 
framed in redwood. ‘The 
mantel shelf is of a heavy 
solid slab of the native 
wood. The hearth is of 
green tile, finished around 
the edge with a narrow strip 
of white oak. 
The scheme of decoration 
in the dining-room is some- 
what original. ‘The plas- 
tered ceiling is covered with 
delft blue linen, and below 
this, set two and. one-half 
feet apart, are ten by ten-inch 
box beams of fine grain Ore- 
gon pine. The walls are 
wainscoted to the plate rail, 
above which there is a delft blue linen: 
Woodwork in this room has been left in its natural golden- 
tan color, and thoroughly rubbed and polished. 
The little den, in a quiet space at the end of the entrance 
hall, has a six-foot paneling of Oregon pine, stained black, 
and a frieze of tapestry showing shades of tan, red, green 
and delft blue. The plastered ceiling is tinted a delicate 
cream. [wo diamond lattice windows and a wide French 
door open from this room to a bracketed balcony. The 
bedrooms, especially the two at the front, are large, ex- 
cellently lighted, and most artistic and dainty in their 
scheme of decoration. The walls are papered in rose 
designs, and the woodwork is white enameled. ‘The chief

charm of one of these bed- 
rooms, centers in an ingle- 
nook fireplace. The mantel 
is of white tiles, while all the 
frame, as well as the mantel 
shelf and the built-in seat, is 
white enameled. 
The bungalow built for 
Charles B. Ingram, at South 
Pasadena, Figs. 10, 11 and 
12, and designed by Frank 
Tyler, architect, of the same 
place, is perhaps one of the 
best kinds of houses to build 
where it is desired to have 
all the rooms on one floor. 
This house is an unusually 
large and roomy one. It 
contains seven rooms and a 
bathroom. The underpin- 
ning and the balustrade to 
the porch are built of brick, 
while the remainder of the 
building is covered with red- 
wood clapboards; the whole 
of the building is painted a 
dull shade of brown, and the 
roofs are covered with 
shingles and stained a simi- 
lar tone. 
The living-room has an 
open fireplace with tiled 
facings and hearth, and a 
mantel supported on large 
brackets. Book-cases are 
built on either side of the fireplace. ‘The ceiling is beamed. 
The dining-room and the kitchen are on the opposite side 
of the house, while the sleeping-rooms and the bathroom are 
built at the side and the rear of the building. Cost, $3,000. 
The house illustrated in Figs. 13 and 14 1s of the 
bungalow type and is planned with all its rooms placed 
on one floor. There are six rooms and a bathroom. The 
entrance is direct into the living-room at the front of the 
building. It is a large room furnished with window seats 
and an open fireplace. The dining-room adjoins it and this
