Justified. There are .oertaln conditions under which a bungalow 'becomes the moat appropriate home to build, and still other conditions under which a bungalow becomes - I nappropriate. If your Jot Is somewhat narrow, and lo cated . between two tall-houses, do not build a 'bungalow anon It, for It would give the. bungalow en Insignificant ap pearance by comparison, that would make It a poor eel ting proposition, and would not give the proper outlook, Hght and air to the -rear rooms. I A bungalow should never be. built en a single Inside lot less then sixty-five f est tn width, unless there are bungalows on each side and all about tt. The proper setting for a- bangalow la either a corner lot. or .double Inside lot. When the width of the lot makes it possible the bungalow .will nave a better appearance if placed with tha broad aids to tha front, thereby containing more of the rooms ou the front of the bouse, which adds to the attractiveness of the Ulterior, from a liv ing standpoint, and makes the exterior appearance of the home seem larger than It really is, which is a good selling point. ' . The average homebullder has a wrong conception . of the cost of a bungalow. Because. they look small, and have short length studding, the popular opinion Is that they cost less than a story and a half or two-story home. Just what their relative -cost are to homes of a two story character depends to a large extent upon the number of bedrooms, - When there Is but one bedroom on the' ground floor, with a small bedroom or twe under the roof, thereby practically mak ing It a story and a halt house, the bungalow would cost but little mors than a story and a naif bouse, contain ing all of the bedrooms on ths second floor. But when there are two, three and four bedrooms on the second story, the cost of the bungslow as compared with the story and a half house contain ing the same number and the same elsed rooms Is considerably in favor of the letter. Tske for a simple example a house feet by S feet, containing on the ftrst floor, the' usual living room, with the stairway at one end, dining room and kitchen, with three bedrooms, bath room and stair ball on the second floor. This house would nave tour foundation walls, each at feet long, and a roof feet by feet, allowing for a 3-foot projection 1 of the eaves all around It, Placing all of the rooms on the second floor adjoining the first floor rooms on the rear, sua . retaining the ball 'as a connecting passage between the bedrooms and bathroom, and still retaining a simple stairway which would be desirable to reach the attlo specs for storage par poses, wa would then have a bungalow t feet by e feet, with two foundation walls M .feet wide and two foundation walls e feet long; In other words. 120 feet of foundation wall as 'compared with a) feet of foundation wall, an in crease of e fset or St per cent. Twice as much excavation and a foot W feet by et feet, an Increase of almost 10 per oent. Also, In ths two-story house the celling 'Joist of the Tint story rooms were at the same tints floor Joist of ths second story room. Placing the second story beck of the first story, to nake a bangalow. means another,. sat ef floor ''join .to cover the spare of 2S feet by feet. Since the root must rise in order to properly shed water, there would be apace enough under ft in the attlo for several rooms, whether the space was used or doc When it comes to' the beating, a litUs more radiation 1a required for the beat rising from the first story helps to best the second story before radiating through the root, while the second story, being warm, would not require quite so much as the first story, as compared to a lack of these advantages tn the bungalow. While some contractors would claim that the difference between the cost of the above described story and a half house and the bungalow as described would approximate between et and M per cent, that la estimating it a little strong In average cases. The difference between the average borne with one bed room and bath on the second floor and the bunga low witb one bed room and bath qn the first floor is about U per cent: the dif ference between the story and a halt houss . and the bungalow -with two bed rooms and bath about 90 per cent, and the difference between the two combinations with three bed rooms and bath about M per cent. Only when there are five or six bed rooms would ths difference In cost go as high as W per cent. The object of this article is not to dis courage eny one from the building of bungalows. Built under proper condi tions, they make the most ideal homes imaginable, combining those two essential features of the Ideal home best expressed by the words "bomeliks and convenient.' It at more the object of the writer to place his readers right on the subject of their cost, so that those who must have a certain amount of room at the lowest minimum cost Wll -not attempt .te build them. t .
