Out in California the most popular
type of home Is the bungalow. Set In
the seini-troplcul surroundings that
are found around Los Angeles and to
the south of that city, these small
homes, usually of frame with either
board or stucco walls, are exception-
ally attractive. Because of the cli-
mate, however, the construction is
What might he termed a most un-
usual design for a frame bungalow is
shown In the accompanying home
building design. Here is u five-room,
modern home, In which nre nil the con-
veniences, surrounded by a terrace.
The combination of hip and gable
roof, the pergola nnd the clupbourd
siding all combine to ndd to the at-
tractiveness of this bungalow.
The living room of this bungalow, ns
shown by the floor plans, extends the
width of the house. It Is 13 feet wide
and 23 feet G inches long. At one
end Is an open fireplace. The dining
room is connected with the living
room by a colonnade opening. This
room Is 12 by 14 feet, nnd opens onto
the terrace at the side. Back of the
(lining room Is the kitchen, 13 by 13
feet G inches. This room arrange-
ment places all of the daytime activi-
ties of the housewife in a series of
rooms, each connected with another.
A short hall, reached through the din-
ing room connects the two bedrooms,
one 11 by 12 feet, directly hack of the
living room, nnd the other, 12 by 13
feet G Inches, at the corner of the
building. Between the two bedrooms
Is the bathroom.
How convenient this arrangement Is
can be readily seen by u study of the
floor plan. Also the amount of closet
room, the built-in kitchen fixtures nnd
oilier good features of the design will

For n small family wanting a pretty
little home this design Is appealing.
