There Is a certain amount of the roof cost which must be spent more or less solely for decoration and the proportion Detween this cost for decoration and the total roof cost is ordinarily increased as the area to be covered Is Increased. There are also other considerations which tend to totDOH n . , Floor Plan. make the extended bungalow high In cost After a certain size of rooms la reached, there Is no advantage In Increasing the size of the building In both directions. In fact it Is Impossible to do so both for artistic and structural reasons. This requires the expanding of the bungalow across Its facade, ordinarily, since the depth of the lot is limited, rather than the width. In order to prevent monotony, this lengthened building must be given a plan something different from the rectangular. The necessary irregularity in walls Implies Increased cost In framing them and finishing them and also brings In an extra expense In framing the roof to conform to the Irregularities in the walls of the building. These facts are not Intended to discourage the nse of the extended bungalow style, for It la indeed a moat novel and very pleasing type of house for the person who la attracted by Its anlque characteristics.
