two parts by the roof construction.
The side of the porch near the front
door is covered with a small gable
that is built out from the house. The
other side has no roof over it and is
covered with pergola. This is a
pleasing and unusual way of finish
ing the porch. The three porch pillars
are finished in stucco and have triple
posts on them to support the roof.
A small dormer window is built to-
ward the front of the house, and the
caves are supported by brackets the
same as the other caves. This breaks
up the broad roof expanse that would
otherwise give fiat, unattractive ap-
pearance.
The front door opens into a recep-
ton hall that has wardrobe in the
back, where coats and wraps can be

be shut off from the rest by merely
shutting one door.
A small back porch is provided in
this design, as it is not needed for
storage space with all the room in the
pantry and back hall. The pantry is
conveniently placed between the
kitchen and the dining room, where it
will be the most useful and conven-
lent.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, sewing room and toilet.
Plenty of closet space is provided in
this part of the house for all kinds Of
storage purposes. These closets are
built under the caves. Light is pro-
vided for the two side bedrooms by
windows in the gables, and the two
other rooms are lighted by dormer
windows. A hall through the center
of this floor makes all the rooms very
accessible.
The entire plan shows well-ar-
ranged house that is we'll suited to the
needs of fairly large family.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building. for the readers Of this
paper. On account Of his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue. Chicago, Ill. and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The accompanying floor plans and
perspective show an attractive bunga-
low that contains plenty of room. On
the ground floor there are five rooms,
including two bedrooms, and there are
also three other bedrooms on the Sec
ond floor. This arrangement makes
this good house for quite family.
The exterior of the house is fin
ished in true bungalow style. All the
structural members are allowed to
show and are not covered as they are
in the ordinary type Of house. The
wide, overhanging caves are supported
by brackets which, instead of being
concealed, are painted white so that
they stand out against the finish of
the building. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary with an overhang as wide as this
to have brackets supporting it, to
prevent sagging.
All the exterior wood trim Is in
white, and the stucco on the walls is
finished in gray. The combination of
the white trim. stucco. and the brick
chimney makes an attractive appear
ance.
The front porch is handled in
very different way from ordinarily.
The porch is built across the entire
front Of the house and is divided into

the appearance of the room. The

other types of windows for a given

sash weights, etc.

form practically one large room and
are connected by wide cased open

space is provided, which is very i'm
portant in any house. For entertain
ing, such space is most desirable,
and this plan provides for it in good
style.
The side Of the living room open

entirely by six easement windows.
