Bungalows 
By HENRY H. SAYLOR 
Here, at last, is the book 
of the bungalow—a book 
that will tell you precisely the 
things that you want to know in 
the planning and building of 
that summer home of yours. 
Not in all the history of this 
country has a type of building 
so firmly gripped the great body 
of the people as has this pictur¬ 
esque, informal, convenient and 
comparatively inexpensive type

The book is most profusely illustrated and in 
the most helpful way. In addition to the 
floor plans the bungalows chosen are illus¬ 
trated from photographs—there are no mere 
visionary schemes in the book at all. Every bun¬ 
galow shown has actually been built and all are 
representative of the work of leading architects 
and amateur builders in various parts of the coun¬ 
try. The bungalows illustrated—by exterior, in¬ 
terior and detail photographs, and by the plans— 
have been selected from hundreds of examples— 
selected so as to prove of the greatest value to the 
prospective builder. 
mind’s eye a picture of that summer home 
you will one day build—on mountain, along 
the shore or in the woods,—this is the one 
book you cannot do without.

All the interesting details of planning, building 
materials for the exterior and interior walls, foun¬ 
dations, roofs, fireplaces, water supply, sewage dis¬ 
posal, lighting; as well as the no less important 
matters of furniture and furnishing and the plant¬ 
ing around the bungalow, are here clearly and 
entertainingly set forth. No matter what partic¬ 
ular sort of summer or vacation home you want, 
you will find here all the guide-posts on the road 
leading to a successful building—successful not 
only in appearances, but in arrangement and con¬ 
struction as well.
