Some Seacoast Bungalows 
MRS. C. S. HANKS S BUNGALOW, MISERY ISLAND 
place are Colonial style high-backed settles, 
comfortable with pillows and cushions; the 
floor is covered with a matting of artistic design. 
A balcony, reached by a stairway starting near 
the entrance, extends over the fireplace and 
from this open two small chambers under the 
eaves. At the rear of the living-room and to 
the right, is a bedroom and beyond that a bath; 
while to the left is a good sized kitchen with 
pantry attached. This 
bungalow has proved 
very satisfactory for 
house parties for over 
Sunday or the holi¬ 
days, and for a small 
family affords ample 
accommodations for 
the season. 
On Misery Island, 
at the entrance of Salem 
Harbor, and but a short 
distance from Man¬ 
chester and the famous 
West Beach of Beverly, 
are several bungalows 
of unusual style. 
Crowning the crest of 
the hill and unique in 
structure is that of Mr. 
T. C. Hollander,of Bos¬ 
ton. Ibis bungalow 
was designed by Mr. 
Win. G. Rantoul, of Boston, 
after a fisherman’s cottage in 
Devonshire, with stucco walls, 
green shutters and heavily 
thatched roof. There is a ver¬ 
anda across the front and one 
end of the house, and in the 
rear a rustic enclosure about 
the service department. The 
large living-room and dining¬ 
room have fireplaces at each 
end, and from the former open 
two bedrooms, fitted up in 
every detail to simulate state¬ 
rooms on board ship. On the 
second floor, reached by a 
stairway at the left of the en¬ 
trance, are two or three small 
chambers. All the fittings of 
this house are suggestive of 
sea life, and most of them were 
done by ship carpenters. 
On the southeastern side of the island, 
built on the top of a cliff directly over the 
water, and suggesting the eyrie of some sea 
fowl, is the unusual home of Mrs. Charles 
S. Hanks, the work of Mr. E. M. A. Machado. 
To the lover of the sea-scape, no more effect¬ 
ive site could possibly be selected, while in 
an easterly storm the full force of the waves
