The whole of the suburban residence section of the east side" Is coming to be inore and more character iced by tha presence of this transplant ed Hindu, Anglo-Indian type Pf home. Architects and builders have frequent ly declared that the bungalaw seemed to fit a Uttle better into the temperature and cjlraate of the south than any other kind of residence. But this low lying, rambling, . artistic house1 Is : ubiquitous and apparently nothing can , stay its progress into popularity, not even the frigid temperature of the far north. : 'At one time . It waa thought even in Portland that a bungalow could be only t i s U TOO STORIK HIGH which is laid with quarter-sawed oak. The dining room is panelled and beamed and the library and living rooms have beamed ceilings, A feature of the house is the nnusually large living room which is .15x29 feet. Inside measurement one atory high, but hew this supposedly hard and fast rule has been broken by the erection of a story and a half and two story bungalows. In which this pe culiar type of construction is aa faith fully adhered to as in the one story house. Tha wide flaring roof, the many angles, the nearly flat top, the rough beard exterior, quaint little oblong win dows, and all the other distinctive fea tures of the one story bungalow, art Juat aa effective and just as true to tha type when -employed in the story and a half or the two story building. It used to be thought that about $300$ was the maximum amount of money that could be Invested la a' bungalow, conse quently in the high priced residence sec tions, -where a minimum house cost of $5000 la incorporated In the deed, It was believed that the bungalow would not, make its appearance; but even the building restriction is of no avail, for It haa been found out that as much money oan be put in a fine bungalow as In a fine house. - ... Difficult to- Graft. An interesting thought suggested vby tbe spread of the bungalow throughout the country is whether the real house that Is, the familiar Queen Anne or mod ified English type of buildings and the bungalow will not ultimately comprom ise on a hybrid basis, resulting in a style of bouse partaking of the essential features of the three, classes of archi tecture. v;.-i'-.Y- :'.v : Architects' here in Portland, and it is reasonable to suppose elsewhere as well, are adopting, by the wholesale, features once characteristic only of the bunga low, and it is no unusual thing to find in Portland an expensive home resem bling at one and the same time the once popular Queen Anne house, the modified English style and the bungalow. . ; So far it haa been rather difficult to graft on to the colonial type of archi tecture any of the distinctive features Of the bungalow, but remembering tbe remarkable ability - of residence archi tects for combining types of architec ture, it will be no cause for surprise it some architectural ' genius doesn't " suc ceed very soon in getting up a combina tion of the colonial architecture 'of a century ago and the bungalow of the present day that will not only be an artistic creation but wilt prove popular with, home builders.. , . 1 LSI NS . : , ; l: The Crystal.
