That the bungalow, originally nothing
but a garden house in India, now a pop
ular type of residence in southern Cali
fornia, and but recently transplanted
froniHhc- aunny south to more northern
climes, haa made a hit In Portland can
be demonstrated by a 80-mlnute oar ride
to any residence section on the other
side of the Willamette, iv. v;
' Writers in periodicals devoted to arch
ttccture have scoffed at 4he bungalow
as essentially exotic, and only, suited to
latitudes of perpetual sunshine; but such
advetse criticism avails, not where the
building , permit, record shows Kthat 20
per cent of the bouses erected In Port
land last year Were' of the typical bun'
gnlow type. 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.. , .
