The origi- nal cost and the maintenance are small and the furnishings simple, enabling them to live well within their income. They will enjoy the comfort and pleasure of their own garden and fireside while saving and planning for future days. They will find it cozy to breakfast in the dining alcove or dine by the fireside in the living room. And it will be far superior to a small, crowded apartment involving high rent bills which would AVERY Libivt COLUMBIA UNIVERS better be applied on paying for a home. The rooms of this charming little Colonial bungalow are large, light, and cheerful, while the exterior is ex- ceedingly attractive. A large lot is not needed unless one wishes an extensive garden. All told it is a very attractive and livable little home for any young couple until increasing fortune permits or justifies a larger and more pretentious house. The interior arrangements are given on the opposite page where the reverse plan is shown with a different exterior design. “LIVING ROOM 16-0" x 11°O" Three-Room Bungalow, No. 302 gay ' .

The living room is large enough for entertaining and has a real fireplace, a feature sadly lacking in most apartments. A disappearing bed in an adjoining closet makes a second bed- room when required for an occasional guest. There is no dining room, as the dining room alcove in the kitchen will serve all the family requirements, while upon more formal occasions, a gate-leg table in the living room will accom- modate a large dinner party. The compact little kitchen, with its alcove and china cabinet and well-lighted sink, will prove to be a saving con- venience and constant joy to the lady of the house. In the rear entry is space for the ice box with a storage cabinet above, and also a broom closet. The bedroom and bath are connected with the main part of the house by a small hall. The bath room has a fine cabinet for linens. The basement, like that of No. 301, has heating plant, fuel room, laundry, and vegetable cellar.

It is not large or expensive to build and is suitable for a small lot, which would reduce the total investment. The bungalow feeling predominates in the ex- terior, but the roof is high enough to allow the finishing of two more bedrooms and a bath, or a den, upstairs if desired. The openings are so care- fully placed that the house is quite attractive from all points of view. Any shade or texture of brick would be adaptable to this design, for which shrubbery and vines are especially suitable, tend- ing to make it appear as an integral part of its natural surroundings. The interior arrangements are described on the opposite page, where this plan is reversed and shown with an English exterior. There is a base- ment under both houses with the usual laundry, heater room and fuel bins, a fruit closet and cellar- age for vegetables. és iA, fy ‘ was LIVING ROM 240" x 120" Three-Room Bungalow, No. 304 lawn mn “Y . £4 is Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association A Compact, Three-Room Apartment Bungalow This interesting English design combines in the plan all of the most modern ideas in condensed house arrangement. The predominant feature is the unusually large living room, made even larger by the inviting fireplace nook. Adjoining it is the breakfast porch, enclosed in glass, so that it is not simply a fair-weather porch, although it can be thrown wide open when the elements permit. It serves for dining room and porch, even for a sleep- ing porch if you choose. While the china cabinets screen it from the kitchen, the division is not so complete as to rob the compact little food laboratory of roominess. A short passage gives access to the bedroom, the bath, the linen closet, and the coat closet. A sizable dressing closet not only gives an unusual amount of closet space but also accommodates a wall bed which can be swung out into the living room if required, making a spare bedroom on occasion. In fact, the dressing closet itself is large enough for a child’s bed, a great convenience where there are small children. ri = es BR na Ai Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association Four-Room Bungalow, No. 401 Economically Planned to Lower Costs The twin-gabled porch of this attractive Colo- nial bungalow adds a distinctive touch to the pleas- ing proportions and roof lines. No other orna- mentation is necessary than that obtained by a good brick bond and a well-considered color scheme of brickwork and mortar joint. There is a large amount of porch in proportion to the size of the house, giving splendid oppor- tunity to enclose one end as a sun parlor. A large lot is not necessary, but one with a slope to the rear would allow good basement windows above grade in the rear while the brick porch floor would be Jaid upon the natural grade in front. Upon a level lot the earth from the excavation should be used to form a terrace in front, thereby saving the cost of carting it away. | Those looking for an economically planned house, will find it in this simple, rectangular plan. Straight walls, few corners, simple interior fram- ing, plumbing concentrated at one point, and one chimney are a few of its practical merits. Floor plan and basement are the same as in No. 402. het, Ambit Cae ae Sie Leet "suing .

Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association A Bungalow of the English Type All the essentials for comfortable living have been incorporated within the walls of this attrac- tive little English bungalow. The living room, well lighted and ventilated, has a cheery fireplace in the corner. A large closet off the living room ac- commodates a disappearing bed, which really adds another bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with two large cabinets extending to the ceiling, taking the place of the pantry. In the rear entry is space for the refrig- erator, above which is another cabinet. Both kitchen and living room are large enough for din- ing as the family may choose. If, however, one wished a dining room, the rear bedroom may be so transformed and connected with the kitchen across the entry. Two good corner bedrooms with closets and a connecting hall complete the plan. From this hall opens the stairs to the basement and to the attic, which may be finished into a good-sized bedroom ~ and bath. Note the fine linen cabinet in one corner of the bath room.

A lege Se oie mm | vt Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association An American Cousin of the West The fine chimney, the simple and attractive roof lines, the fenestration and the brick steps, leading to the outside vestibule, combine here into a very pleasing whole. It gives to the re- versed plan of No. 403 a western American in place of an English expression. While designed especially for a narrow inside lot, it is evident that thought has been given to the appearance of the side of this Western bunga- low, so that it might be placed broadside on a wider lot or be made to grace the corner. There is an opportunity in this design for artistic dis- play of brickwork in such bonds as English, Dutch, Flemish, or Garden Wall, not forgetting, of course, the proper treatment of the mortar joints. These should harmonize with the brick in color and as a general rule be in contrast so as to set off distinctly any bond or pattern employed. Both houses have a fine basement, complete with laundry, heating plant, fuel bins, and vegetable cellar. A doorway on the stair landing at grade gives convenient access to the basement. Four-Room Bungalow, No. 405 Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association A Small House with Real Architectural Merit It is easier to design a large than a small house, but here the architect has succeeded in producing an extremely attractive effect with the restricted masses and simple lines of this small house. The fine chimney, the roof, the gabled porch, the pro- portion of height to length and breadth, and the fenestration combine into a very pleasing whole. The large, square porch forms a complete pro- tection for the entrance, which lets you directly into the ample living room where a convenient coat closet accommodates wraps, umbrellas, and the like. A cheerful fireplace gives the room a very homey feeling. A closet for a disappearing bed practically makes of the living room another bedroom when occasion demands. A short hall leads to the dining room and kitchen, and connects the bedroom with the bath. The rear porch is glazed, screened, and heated, and has a foundation wall around it, so that it may be used for more than just a rear porch. It could be made an attractive all-the-year-round dining porch. ge Sige gens needy ome ie savanna emu 24 tg - ee Guru Zz EAI pIROUN Tapa ——— - f a Four-Room Bungalow, No. 406 Tu rt ier Port a Se = | = Y ———= — _ Maura caTtGg a ules MAN Ueseeenes ws aba lee a : Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association A Touch of the Renaissance The versatile architect has here developed out of No. 405 a totally different but none the less charming design. It is somewhat more reserved and dignified and, in fact, in its arcaded porch gives a suggestion of the Italian renaissance. This design offers a rare chance for the artistry of brickwork. While the field could be treated with a simple running bond, much could be made of the frieze under the eaves, the base and band courses, window lintels and sills, and the arches of the porch columns, by the handling of analogous color tones. Striking contrasts should not be used. This type of house lends itself to a charming landscape treatment which by no means requires large spaces. It is a matter of lawn, shrubbery, flowers and vines, so disposed as to serve as embellishment for the general mass of the house. A brick walk, of the same color as the house, would intimately link the landscape and house together. Note, as in No. 405, the basement windows which give light and ventilation to the laundry and heater, coal, vegetable, and storage rooms. Sa eee 4 Se Fre, oe e ca pane ES Ae, ae amano AUPE Eee ote.

The second story is not finished but there is sufficient room to accom- modate two additional bedrooms and bath accord- ing to the suggested second floor plan shown. The entrance is so sheltered that there is no need for a vestibule, although an inner door could be easily added. A convenient coat closet is placed adjacent to the front door. The large, well- lighted living room has an attractive fireplace set in a slight recess, which adds to the apparent width of the room. The end of the living room, used for dining, is convenient to the kitchen which is so placed that it cannot be seen from the living room. The kitchen is compact, well arranged and has cupboards in place of a pantry. A fine place is provided for a kitchen cabinet. The refrigerator may be iced from the outside, and a hopper receives the garbage for an incinerator in the basement. The bedrooms and bath are secluded in the rear portion of the house. eal inn SUI PS NY FIRST FL@DR_ Four-Room Cottage, No. 408 a SECOND FL@®R i Aisa i H RUA SRA i "t Use SY: \ | \ y a ve Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association A Delightful English Cottage for an Inside Lot This entirely new and attractive exterior for the reversal of the plan on the opposite page is a successfully striking example of the English type. The half-timbered gable with its herringbone pattern brickwork, will make this house stand out among its neighbors. The second story may be finished as in No. 407, except that a different arrangement is re- quired as shown in drawing. If so desired, however, the second floor may be used for a play room, billiard room, or a similar use. This plan is adaptable to a narrow lot, as the kitchen has been placed on the side of the house, leaving an unobstructed rear view to be enjoyed from the two bedrooms. The wicket gate and brick wall to the lot line is an exceedingly attractive feature, while screen- ing from view the kitchen porch. Under both this house and its alternate opposite is a basement reached by an inside and an outside stairway in which the usual laundry, heating plant, fuel bin, vegetable cellar, and storage room are included.
