Bungalows la rasalonabla Districts.
"A bungalow, designed In the manner
described above, constitutes an appro
priate and un interesting architectural
type. The type Is not very often com
pletely fulfilled, because they ere gen
erally nuch cheap little buildings that
no architect's fee can enter Into their
cost of construction."
Just now the bungalow type, so-called,
is coming; into great popularity In Port
land. Everv fa&felonable residence has
ls quota of these cosy, artistic look
ing little habitations. iany of them
built at a cost of $5,000, and even more.
But they are constructed not for the
tropical suns of India or Mexloo, but
rather to keep out the Jack Frosts of a
northern latitude. i
