J I story bungalow ami the two
naMJ story bungalow.
r" The one-story
ninyJ sprang Into poiiular
the cast and the west almost at the same
time, but for entirely different reasons. In
the extreme western and south esici n
parts of the country, homes have always
been unlit rather low, as a pi "lection from
the dangers of selsmetle disturbances, but
In the eaat the bungalow is largely the
outgrowth of the flat building Idea.
A young woman used to the conveniences
of a flat can not easily accustom herself
to the Inconveniences of doing t lie house
work on two floors, which explains why
so many young people are building bunga
lows for their first homes.
A one-story . bungalow has all the ad
vantages of a modern flat, except Janitor
service, and overcomes many of the dis
advantages found in a flat building. In a
flat building the rooms are usually ar
ranged along one side obtaining light and
air from that aide only, which Is either
directly over the sidewalk on the one aide
or looks into an Inside court on the other.
This means a restriction of light and air,
and bars one from ti e pleasures of a yard
In the summer lime. Also real estate
agents seldom rent a flat to a family with
small chjldi en. While I hey are sometimes
accused of hcartlessness in this respect,
it Is really a kindness to the children, for
a flat building is no place to raise little
Children.
A bungalow on the other hand, has light
and air all around t, with as lanie a yard
as .the relative size of the bungaow and
the lot will permit, and makes a ideal
home In which to raise children.
itloHt little lots have to be dressed from
two to four times every day which means
a frequent i 'inning tip and down stairs. In
addition to the duties of the regular house
work. The floor plan arrangement of a bunga
low can be as formal as in a prlvite home,
with an entrance, hall, living room library
and dining room, in addition to the kitchen
and chambers, or'it can foil iw the crafts
man idea and be made very informal with

the large living room serving :he piirpose
of reception hall, living room, I'brary and
dining roo'ii.
There is one feature which should be In
cluded In every bungalow, no matter how
infc rmal. and that is a snnill halt con
nected with all the bedrooms, and the bath
room. For obvious) reasons, it Is not con
venient to have the bathroom located le
motely from the bedrooms, and In no way
directly connected with them.
Since there Is always some attic space,
over even a small bungalow there should
be provided a stalrw'ay leading lo It. This
space is often convenient as a store room,
and if the bungalow Is a large one, the
addition of a small dormer or two on the
rooT, appropriately located, makes the
space available at any time for a spare
room or two, or It can be used as a bil
liard room, or playVroom for the children;
during Inclelnent weather.
Since' a cellar stairway is always neces
sary, the stairway to the attic can be
placed directly over It .thereby requiring
no extra space'Tor this purpose, since the
spaced over the eellar stairway would be
required for head room which the stair In
ascending to the second floor does not
interefere with. '
There is a mistaken Idea, prevalent.' that
a bungalow Is less expensive to build than
a story and a half or two-story hous-, con
taining the same number of rooms. A
nnall bungalow containing the living room,
dining room, kitchen, one bedroom and
bathroom can be built as cheap if the
jponis are not large, as a home containing
the same amount of rooms with the bed
room on the second floor, but when I .vo,
three or four ' bedrooms are placed on the
'list floor, the relative cost increases con
siderably. This can be reasoned out In a
very simple way.
We will take for example a straight Iwo-
alory home, 24x2i feet In size, containing
on the first floor a large living room, din
ing room and kitchen, and on the second
floor three bedrooms, bath room, linen
closet. and the stairway which connects the
two ?-tcrics, It c.:n be easily seen that
placing all of the rooms on t lie second
floor without I'diKing them In slr.e. to
gether with the rooms on the first floor
would make a house 24iS feet, or twice
feel. . Kach room in Itself will cost
as nireh as In the two-story boue. Tlier."
will be required twice as much excavating
for the basement, ts llnra! feet more
foumlaiiou wall mid fooling, almost twice
as much roof, composed of loof rafter.
1 weather boarding, paper and shingles, and
since tiie celling Joist of the two-story
house was the floor joist above, which
would not be used as floor Joist In the.
bungalow, there would be an additional
expense of floor Joist to fill in a space 2lx
21 feet In a bungalow. From this It can
be easily seen that a bungalow 21.IS feet,
containing six rooms, would cost consider
ably more than the same numher of rooms
in a two-story lioi'se. 24x21 feet. To off
sit this there Is a slight reduction in the
cost of studding in being able to use short
lengths, bin tills does not amount to much.
This is not an argument against the
planning of a one-story bungalow when
out cannot afford It. for a more desirable
home w ben appropriately located, w ith a
spacious yard around It, and not hemmed
In between two tall houses, would be hard
to find. This is simply a warning to Hie
man of limited means, vho has the mis
taken idea that a large bungalow (Joes
not cost any more than "he same amount
of space in a two-story house.
Oul of this fact has srown the two-story
bungalow. The man with a home 21x24
feet, desiring but one or two bedrooms, run
place them on the second floor In such a
manner that the roof can be given a low
bungalow appearance, with large dormers
to provide light and air for the chambers.
The effect of studied rusticity can be pre
served, and by using very wide projecting
caves, a bungalow effect can be obtained
In a home costing less than a straight two
story house, and not near as much as the
cost of plating all of the roonn on one
floor.
