floor, smoothed, the under floor 

 side turned down, upper turned 

 up; between both is a layer of 

 tar felt to prevent anything 

 leaking through from kitchen, 

 and to deaden sound. A wind- 

 ing stairway from the living- 

 room, or an outside stairway, leads to the kitchen in the sec- 

 ond story, which is provided with coal and wood stove, for 

 hot water, iron sink, with drip board, ice box, dish and store 

 closets. The servants' room is partitioned off. The walls, 

 ceilings and partitions on this floor are stained with vermin- 

 proof stain. The furniture for the bungalow consists of soft 

 grain ash pinned together with hewn surfaces and dead finish. 

 The decorative articles consist of native wares and rugs, orna- 

 ments of Zuni pottery, Moquaive basketware, Indian relics, 

 pine bows, fishing nets for photographs, draped over fishing 

 rods, cork buoys, and red and green yacht lights for cozy 

 corners. For wall decorations are elk head, guns, sombrero, 

 lasso, Indian beaded vest and feathered head dress, and pipes, 

 as well as poster pictures. 



"Cliff Eyrie" is a log bungalow built for J. D. Sawyer, 

 Esq., at Greenwich, Conn. It is a log cabin, and is a real 

 eyrie, on a real overhanging cliff about thirty feet above the

water. It was a house designed for this particular site, and 

 is built of log slabs for the exterior walls, fastened to upright 

 stud construction. A veranda is built across the front, from 

 which steps lead to a miniature wharf and spring board for 

 diving; from this veranda one can get quite satisfactory fish- 

 ing during the season. 



The interior is treated in a simple manner; the timbers 

 are exposed to view, and effective results are obtained through 

 the use of stains. The living-room, where both the cooking 

 and dining is done, has a large open fireplace built of cobble- 

 stone picked up from the shore. The bedroom is provided 

 with folding screens and can be divided into two rooms when 

 desired. The cost of the house was $500. For houses of 

 this character the location is ideal, perched as it is on a high 

 cHff, and embowered by large, over-topping trees, with the 

 waters of the Sound beating against its foundations. Truly 

 a charmingly situated house built at small cost.
