Merritt, Ernptre Buildtns, Seattle Trade Supfiltrd hy The Vui*et Sound \ews ('o., Seattle m INTRODUCTION IHE CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW BOOK is designed to present to those interested in home building •the very highest types of bungalows adapted to the cooler climates of the North and East. This book is unique in the fact that while every design or plan shown is a true bungalow, none of them are subject to the handicaps found in the California types, which make no provision for basements, heating plants, and other necessary utilties without which a Northern home is a failure. It is arranged for the purpose of showing, by illustration, floor plans and word descriptions the attractive and comfort-givmg features of the Craftsman Bungalow. Many residents of the temperate zone look with envious eyes upon the cozy bungalows of California, while they bemoan the apparent fact that such a type of house would be anything but home- climates, with no basement for heating plants or other features of primary importance in a locality where the winters are cold or wet, as in the Northwest and East. To show them that the bungalow type may be adapted to any climate, we have taken the latest designs and arranged the plans for this climate so they will give the greatest degree of satisfaction to the bungalow owner. Realizing some years ago the certain popular demand now being felt for smaller and more convenient houses, we have made a specialty of designing and building these homes in the Northern states and with a success which has been a matter of pride not only to the owners but ourselves as well. Of late other architects have taken up the subject, forced to meet the demand as best they could, whether or not they were familiar with the needs of their sections. They have gone so far in their eagerness to meet all wishes as to apply the term bungalow to many crude alterations of cottages or even more substantial types of residences. The designing of an artistic bungalow of the true type requires as mnuch skill and education as does any other branch of the architect’s work. The man with the experience and training is the one to give you the best results. All of the designs in this book are bungalows pure and simple . Most of them are our own ideas. They are only a few of the many designs on hand, but they will serve to show you something of the concentrated beauty, convenience and comfort to be obtained from owning a real Craftsman Bungalow. Our estimates of cost, while applying in this city, may be above or below the cost elsewhere, depending on the differ¬ ence in price of material and labor of all kinds in various parts of the country. Owing to the fluctuations of the labor and material market at the present time it is impossible to prepare estimates which will meet with these conditions at all times. The estimates of cost of construction in this book cover all labor and material complete, with the exception of heating plant, and are based on the following schedule of prices: Common Dimension Lumber. . .$20.00 Per M Fir Lath. . .$ 4.00 Per M Plaster . . $20.00 Per Ton Masonry Labor. . . . . $8.00 Finish Lumber. . . . 50.00 Per M Cement. . 3.25 Per Bbl. Carpenter Labor. . .6.40 Plumbing Labor. . . . 8.00 Cedar Shingles. . 3.00 Per M Common Brick. , . . .20.00 Per M Common Labor . . .4.00 Painting Labor. . . . 8.00 Labor IS all figured on an eight-hour day. If the exterior and floor plans are suitable, a more or less expensive material may be used to get practically the same results, when the cost figure does not satisfy. A few minor changes in plans can be made to suit individual tastes without changing the outside appearance and without the great expense of re-drawing. FULL \^ALUF I' O R YOUR M () N F V Our plans are practical working drawings, complete in every detail, and ready for any good carpenter, mason oi builder to go ahead with the work.

The two rooms proviaed in the rear gable upstairs are small, but amply large enough for the purpose in¬ tended. Every room in the house is large and yet not one inch is wasted. Note the con¬ venient arrangement of all rooms—the amount of cupboard space provided in kitchen and pantry. The reception hall is the connecting link between the living room and the balance of the house and serves as an appropriate carriage entrance. The attractive porch is well sheltered and makes a splendid lounge in warm weather. The exterior of the house is sand-finished cement stucco, while the roof is of asphalt shingles curved down at eaves and cornice. The large fluted columns are of wood, while the front steps are paving brick. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii»^ Estimated cost .. $8500.00 Price of plans and specifications as shown or reversed .. . 35.00 Price of material lists . .. 10.00 PAGE FOUR Bungalows are here to stay.

This is an especially well built home and combines as its exterior the permanence of brick veneer on the first floor walls and the equally everlasting red cedar lap siding of the second story. The roof of clear Washington red cedar shingles will give leaktight service for years to come. A study of the floor plans will convince the interested that nothing has been spared to render the plan complete in its every appointment. From the front door to the back door and from the large well lighted full size basement to the garret everything that would add to the at¬ tractiveness or convenience of the various rooms has been thought of and provided.

Two rooms—namely, den and child’s room—are provided in this plan which are not to be found in plan number 467, and by the provision of a few more windows the child’s room could very easily be used as a sleeping porch if so desired. A glance at the living room interior shown on this page will give one an idea of the splendid opportunity offered in the fine large rooms. The difference of six feet in width between this home and its prototype has certainly been used to advantage as can be readily seen in a comparison of bedrooms.

WASHINGTON. 467—1 his IS a style of bungalow that is becoming very popular in the Western states. I he lines of the house are very graceful and the whole effect is very attractive. I he design calls for brick veneer to the height of the watertable with sawed shakes above. I he brick-faced porch and chimney give the building a substantial air of plenty, borne out by the very liberal lines of the house. The living and dining rooms are connected by a wide opening, which may, if desired, convert them into practically one room. 1 here are two bed rooms with small halls, each with a door leading to either the kitchen or bath room. Perhaps the most attractive feature of this design is the large breakfast room, which opens from the pantry and dining room and so arranged that it has windows on three sides. PACK .SKVK.N' 468 A—This is one of the best exarrples of the true Mission style. It has the typical plan of a terrace or “patio” enclosed by three sides of the building. The roof of this house is asphalt shingles, the exterior is the popular stucco finish over hollow tile. The construction is about as cheap as frame in many parts of the country, and in the long run costs less, if the job is done right. The principal rooms are finished with cove ceilings and hardwood floors. The living room fireplace is very large and of beautiful design. The plans provide for large, well-arranged rooms, large closets and all modern conveniences, including a built-in pullman diner and ironing board in kitchen. The glassed in Loggia is so arranged that it can be used as a summer dining room overlooking the patio with its flowers and tumbling fountain.

The stucco is rough cast on hollow tile and the root is asbestos shingles.

Think of It; you will never have to paint your walls and the roof never requires any stain but re¬ mains the same color to the end of time. This is not a large house and can easily be built on a fifty-foot lot and eave ample room for driveway and garage.

The design savors of great substantiality, notably in the foundation walls and the granite rubble of the porch work and chimneys. The little note of half timber which shines in gables is a very pretty note. The disposition of the various rooms is good, and a room, the library, IS provided which can be used as a bed room if the size of the family necessitates. Upstairs are two large bed rooms, each having its own light and roomy closet, bath room and storage space under the eaves. iiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii|iii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ Use plenty of ivindoivs, glass Ls cheaper than lumber PAGE ELEVEN 457—It is hard to keep from getting enthusiastic about as pretty a bungalow as this, especially after an inspection of the house itself. “Solid and sensible” just describe it. Where large rooms’and closet space are needed, it would be hard to find a nicer plan than this. The entrance is into a vestibule which opens into a reception hall with living and dining rooms on opposite sides. The porch floor is cement on dirt filling. The house is very well planned with all the rooms independent of each other, yet easy of access. The dining room has an exceptionally fine buffet. The living room is large and has a large open fireplace. No. 457.

Note the extra wide verge boards and rich, heavy moldings. The first story is shingles in alternate courses. The second story is cement plaster on galvanized metal lath. The curved hood over the front entrance and the balcony effect of the second story windows break up an otherwise rather plain wall. I hree large well planned rooms are provided on the first floor, with splendid outlook on all sides. The upper floor, reached from' the reception hall, has fine bedrooms and another room which can be used either as a bedroom or sleeping porch. The bathroom is placed where it is handy to all rooms, as well as economical for plumbing.

I he light and cheerful aspect of the cement plaster forms a pleasing contrast with the dark red brick pilasters. The house is very conveniently arranged, and each bed room is provided with a clothes closet and lavatory. Access is had to the bath room through a hall, which is lighted and ventilated by a skylight. 1 he dining room is paneled to a height of the plate rail, above which in square forms extend quaint Dutch figures around the room.

This statement remains for the future to prove. But the number who are building the so called aeroplane type of home steadily grows and we think that the design herewith is one that will commend itself to many; not only for its beauty and straightforwardness of design but also for the splendid size of the rooms, and for their arrangement. The living rooms are large but the bed rooms have not been sacrificed. The kitchen, planned for one who does her own work, is a marvel of compactness and is joined by the rear screened porch, with the laundry trays thereon, and the cozy breakfast room in its efforts to lighten the house work. The turret plan, which for lack of space is not shown provides for two rooms with a sm.all toilet room handy. The plans call for a basement under the entire house.

The “curve" idea has been carried out very consistently and just far enough, as a study of the exterior will convince. The cobblestone work in this house is of the very best. In plan this is one of the best arrangements for five rooms. A splendid living room opening to two porches, the side porch being in reality a carriage entrance, a dining room, kitchen, two bed rooms and bath. Note the large closets and the way the stairs have been schemed to take up as little room as possible.

The exterior of the house employs cobblestones and brick on the front with artistic effect, while the dark woodwork with its lighter trimmings makes a pleasing background for the house. The reception hall leads into the commodious living room, which practically extends from the front of the house to the breakfast room in the rear, with a huge fireplace exactly in the center.

The dining room eleven feet wide by fourteen and one-half feet long is equipped with a buffet that fills one entire wall with china cabinets and drawers for table linen and silver ware.

The exterior is sided with sawed cedar shakes laid 1 2 inches to the weather and stained a dark gray, which forms a striking contrast to the white trim of the smooth woodwork.

A study of the floor plan will bring out all the interesting and important features but we would particularly call your attention to the locations of stairways. The stairway to the second floor leading from the hall provides the upstairs rooms with access to all parts of the house without the in¬ convenience of passing through any of the downstairs rooms. The stairway to basement is placed under the other stairs and makes a very handy means of reaching the splendid base¬ ment which is the full size of the main floor and is seven feet high with concrete walls and floor.

The screen porch at the rear is a feature which holds the wife as the smoking nook does the husband. The kitchen is de¬ signed purely for business purposes and to save steps.

The large cement urns which are an integral part of the masonry work, providing novel plant holders, are rather unusual. Next to the brickwork, the effective treatment of porch soffit and the repeated vertical lines of the porch gable help take this house out of the ordinary class.

An attractive house will command a better price by several hundred dollars than the common kind, and it costs no more. Use the best shingles on your roof; it is fal se economy to use a cheap grade of roofing. Your roof should be as simple as possible; every valley means a weak place that might leak. Don’t use cheap cement or mix it weak. This is not an item of heavy expense, but a very important one. Closets should be put in wherever you can find available space. Cut down the size of rooms if necessary. Use plenty of windows. Glass is cheaper than lumber. Be sure and have the kitchen sink right under a window. Have your fireplace built right. Avoid smoke and excessive discomfort by having it built according to our detail plans. Don’t build a bath room without outside windows or located so that it cannot be reached without going through a bed room or kitchen. (This is a fault with many small cottages and apartments that can just as well be avoided.) A clothes chute in the bath room is might}^ handy; it can be arranged as a seat with a hing¬ ed lid, or as a part of a towel cabinet. Illlllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll^ P.'VGE FIFTY-SIX See page three regarding special plans (iained by years of Actual Experience Care should be used in arranging the position of your windows and doors. By all means place windows so that a draft may be had from any direction to air rooms. Consider the position of beds and other large pieces of furniture. Bed room windows should give good light to your dressing table. Arrange your kitchen to prevent extra steps. Don’t build an old style pass-pantry when you can have a neat, compact, buffet kitchen such as we put in our bungalows. Use good hardware on your front door and a good lock on your back door, even if you have to use cheap locks on inside doors. A cooling closet is a necessity, and should be ventilated from an outside wall. Don’t let your carpenter fool you into starting without detail plans. He can not execute the work as well without them, and the best he can do is to make a patched-up job that resembles the design. More than that, he has everything his own way. He may say that he will do this or that, but there are a hundred things, probably fai more important, of which he will say nothing, but which deeply concern you, and these are things for which you may have to pay a fancy extra price when they should have been included in the original contract. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. You may save money in the beginning, but in the end lose several hundred dol¬ lars on account of not having a complete set of plans and specifications. .4 uLte builder buys pood plans PAGE FIFTY-SEVEN 201 A—Six rooms and bath.

Passing through the wide opening, one enters the dining room, where the eye is immed’ttely struck by the appearance of size and features of the finish. A dark-green stain for all the woodwork, with a light burlap or Japanese paper on the walls between narrow panel strips, has been employed in the finish of this room with the best of results. The housewife is impressed by the large bed room closets—more than seven feet deep with a wide shelf along the side. ■millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllimilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll^^ .. ..

The curved arch of the cozy little porch entrance and the concrete columns passing through the roof and slightly curved at the ends are the first distinctive parts to impress the observer. The front door is largely of glass, with diamond-shaped panes of large size. The windows beside it are long and narrow and also have the diamond pane, as do the upper sashes of the front and side windows. The living room extends across the full width of the house and gets the light from the wide windows on either side of the door, and from the door itself. There IS a small porch off the kitchen. Note the compact arrangement of the bedroom closets and cellar stairway.

The porch extends nearly across the front of the house and has a large square timber for a support at either corner. The braces protrude through the verge board rather than appearing beneath it. Entering the living room from the porch, one finds the mantel on the outer wall, affording opportunity for an attractive chimney of rough brick without. There is a broad arch leading to the dining room, which is beamed and has a square window at the side with seat beneath. Back of the kitchen is a good-sized porch and a pretty built-in breakfast nook. A hall connects the bed rooms with the dining room and bath room.

The walls to the second floor line are eight inch cedar siding. The five columns of the front are stucco. I he gables are shingled and stained a contrasting color. The plan does not need much ex¬ plaining but we wish to call the readers attention to one or two particulars. For entertain¬ ing, this plan is splendidly arranged as the hostess has a dining room and solarium in addi¬ tion to a wonderful living room. The solarium might just as well have been called a con¬ servatory as this is no doubt what it w'ill be used for by many owners. The bed room, bath and closet arrangement is of the best and the breakfast nook is worked in very nicely. I'lans save time, anti time saved means money saved [iiii:iiii:iii PAGE SIXTY-SEVEN 339—Rather unique in treatment, the long lines of verge and ridge, the different porch rail and the massive 8x8-inch brackets and lookouts, lend a distinction seldom seen in a home of like size and cost. The porch floor and steps are cement while the corner piers of the porch are shingled. The space under the roof is ventilated by providing a small gable dormer with latticed wall. Special care was taken in designing the rooms which go to make up this splendid five-room plan. Designing is the correct word—mere planning would never produce the results shown—each room is complete. No guess work here, not an unnecessary line drawn and not a line left out which would be needed to provide comfort and beauty. Economy is also thought of, one chimney serves every need. - Z&a'.

This bungalow has its porch work and chimney of the rough cut sandstone laid up in black cement mortar and the use of this material has given the house the necessary touch of light to set off the rather dark stain of the re-sawed cedar siding. Flower boxes enhance the beauty of the design. The floor plan illustrates an especially good arrangement, two of the best parts being the large living room, 12 feet by 23 feet, with fireplace, seat and bookcases, and the attractive Pullman diner off the kitchen.

The exterior—the repeating lines of the heavy piers of the porch, its brick capped wall providing fine supports for additional flower boxes and the exceptional treatment of the roof lines—had a great deal to do with the .success of the design. The designer had a lucky day when he schemed out this plan, for he has in a space twenty-eight by thirty-eight obtained five of the largest and best arranged rooms we have ever seen.

The shingles are almost the natural color with light brown stain, and the trimmings are painted a very dark brown. Cobblestones properly selected and laid up are very artistic, but the use of native materials like any other good thing can be easily over¬ worked. One must have a good understanding of the “eternal fitness of things” or a rustic effect among things of another style will look out of place. The living room is large and well lighted, connecting to the dining room by a large arch.

Thought of bright summer days and balnr.y moonlight nights are inspired by the attractive porch, with the substantial brick pillars matching the broad brick chimney, its wide eaves and commodious size on the front and side of the house. No more pleasant spot could be found on hot days than this porch with broad, inviting hammocks, pillowed seats and lounging chairs, distributed among potted flowers and palms and other green plants. And when cooler weather prevails, the spacious living room with a roaring fire in the huge open fireplace satisfies every home instinct.

The plan is a convenient one—the builder gets the maximum amount of usefulness for the lowest possible cost. 1 he four rooms are grouped about the central chimney in such a way that a stove can be placed in both dining room and bed room, as well as in the kitchen, thus assuring a warm home at all times. At a slight additional cost a fireplace can be built in the end of the living room, where the three windows are, that would add much to the homelike appearance of the room.

Please note the large living room, bath room and closet space. This is intended for a portable house and as such is especially suitable as a summer camp or for use on a leased site. The estimated cost given is for the house without plumbing or plastering, which cannot be figured in the cost of a sectional dwelling. Estimated cost Plans .

HE GARAGE: Today the garage for the automobile is almost as great a necessity as the dwell¬ ing for the owner. And like the larger building it is erected in as many different styles and sizes; from the small, inexpensive structure to the large building capable of handling two or more cars. Sometimes it has merely four walls and a roof; again it is made large enough for a work bench and perhaps a repair pit—and for some a building with living quarters or at least a room adjacent, or over the garage is deemed desirable. It is built of every material and every combination of materials. Why not order a plan for a garage when ordering house plans? If of frame it can be easily and quickly constructed and will', during the course of construction of the house, serve as a tool shed and you have the added advantage of harmony in design. We have in the past years prepared quite a number of plans for garages of various sizes and styles and if you can give us some idea of the type desired we would be glad to quote prices. Should we have one in stock that fills your require¬ ments, the price will be as listed below; for duplicate plans, specifications and material lists. If material list is not wanted you may deduct $2.50 from price given.

See page three I'AGK OXK HUXDKKI) KLP^VKX WHAT OTHERS SAY In the past twenty years thousands of bungalows have been built from our plans, in every state of the Union and in several foreign coun¬ tries, including France, Australia, Panama and Cuba. They have given universal satisfaction, providing their owners with attractive, modern and comfortable homes. We have planned them of every size and type, and of all materials and combinations of materials. When you build your home, why not incorporate in your plans some of the many built-in-features which we have devised to make housework a pleasure rather than a drudgery? And use a design that will be a source of pride not only to you, who know the interior, but to those who are merely passersby. Note the following letters, where they come from, and what they have to say. Your plans would be the same. Scarcely a mail fails to bring its quota of similar messages. “Yours at hand and contents noted, also the plans came in good condition. We thank you for your pains and certainly you have “drawn a house” this time. We have studied the new plans very thoroughly and have not at yet found one objectionable feature and you can not have drawn it nearer to our ideas, if you had been here with us. Thanking you once more and with best Christmas wishes, I beg to remain,” LUCIEN B. ROUSE, Torrington, Conn. “I am living in the house you planned for me and like it very much. I want to build another small bungalow.” * * * H. E. CONNER, Akron, Ohio. “I beg to acknowledge receipt of your most excellent plans for bungalow, as per order. They far exceed my expectations. In fact, I hardly see how it is possible for you to furnish, for the price, so perfect a set of blueprints with specifications. I am most pleased, as is also my husband.” JANE G. ROEBER, Richmond, Va. Sometimes our plans so please the client that he expresses him¬ self very emphatically. The following letter is from one who purchased five sets of plans in a space of very few months: ‘‘Our house. No. 327, is a regular picture and seems to be the talk of the town or else everybody’s kidding me. * * * * The house itself is a wonder for beauty.” * * * J. R. SUPPLE, Kalamazoo, Mich. ‘‘We received the plans of house No. 634 and are very much pleas¬ ed with them. Our head carpenter was surprised to receive such a complete set of plans for the money.” MRS. GLEN. WARNER, Argos, Indiana. “Delighted with plans I received today. They are beyond my ex¬ pectations.” A. J. MAHON, St. Lambert, Quebec, Can. “Wish to say that the bungalow we are now building according to plans received is causing much comment up in this territory as bung¬ alows in this country are very rare, and we might also add that we are very much pleased with same.” E. J. FLINT, Regina, Sask. Can. “I received the plans No. 249, the tenth and after looking them over very carefully am very much pleased with same. When the house is finished I am going to send you a picture to let you see how a Craftsman Bungalow looks in New England.” R. MAXWELL, Swampscott, Mass. “I beg to acknowledge receipt of plans and specifications for bungalow No. 617, I am pleased beyond words; so much so, that I have passed my plan book among prospective builders and friends whom no doubt you will hear from shortly.” A. C. JACKSON, Caldwell, N. J. Mr. J. S. Andrews, of Tampa, Florida, is evidently a very busy man; he generally telegraphs when he wants plans. At various times he has purchased six entirely different plans—not a plan has been re¬ turned. It is not always what they say lo us that counts. Mr. Paul C. Murphy, of Portland, Oregon, has purchased a large number of plans. Mr. F. C. Ives, of Rutland, Vermont, is one of those who looks before he leaps. He says in one of his letters: “I am pleased to inform you that I received a letter from Mr. Paul C. Murphy, of Portland, Oregon, in which he says, ‘ * * * of them all we found the Craftsman Designs were by far the most attractive as well as more practical from the standpaint of floor plans, and so far we have used them almost exclusively in the erection of some fifty bungalows.’ ” * * * We have recently completed a splendid design for Mr. Ives. Space and modesty prohibit any more of these, but we wish it understood that any plans purchased from us carry also the privilege of consultation in regard to the construction of finishing of any part of the bungalow; in fact, your entire satisfaction is what we want.
