the typical bungalow style. Much
very peculiar art has been perpetrated
in the name of the bungalow, and Il
has to account for many freakish
dwellings for which it is not in any
way to blame
We have never happened to see a
bungalow-style Office building. nor do
we remember having heard of one;
still, what is almost as bad. the bunga-
low style church is quite q common
thing in many OF our cities and
suburbs. These are uses never con-
templated by the originators of the
bungalow In this country, and should
not be charged up against the style.
The bungalow, rightly understood. is
an artistically designed cottage, and
within that sphere has some exceed
ingly creditable features of work to
show.
The estimated cost of the house
here shown ranges from $3.50 to
$500, depending to some extent ON
the locality and on local market con-
ditions of material and labor The
