    About this ebook

    When Brickbuilder, an early 20th-century trade publication, sponsored a major nationwide competition for bungalow designs, over 600 drawings were submitted by architects and draftsmen from around the country. This book, reprinted from a rare catalog published in 1912, contains the 100 winning entries from that event. The competition had two important criteria: the principal construction material was to be brick, and the complete cost — exclusive of the land — would be about $3,000.
    The winning designs came from all over the United States and reflected a diverse range of tastes and styles — from a single-floor, tile-roof hacienda to an elaborate thatched-roof English cottage, complete with decorative brickwork and a semicircular exterior wall. Each of the 100 superbly rendered plates shows the house in perspective and provides floor plans, some landscape planning, and an itemized list of construction costs.
    An essential reference book for restorers of period homes, historians, students, and enthusiasts of American domestic architecture, this fascinating book also offers browsers an entertaining glimpse of houses that still appear in countless areas across the country.

      One Hundred Bungalows

      FOREWORD

      THE Bungalow Designs which are illustrated in this book have been selected from 666 drawings submitted by architects and draughtsmen from all parts of the country, in a competition recently conducted by the Brickbuilder.

      The subject of this competition was a brick bungalow to be built complete — exclusive of the land — for $3000. The three prize designs, the eight honorable mention designs and most of the others here published can, in the opinion of competent authorities, be built of good wholesome materials for this figure; a few of the designs would cost somewhat more.

      It is interesting to note that the program called for bungalow designs; the results as set forth in this book therefore fairly represent the interpretation of the word bungalow on the part of a large number of the architectural profession.

      One naturally associates the word bungalow with a type of dwelling which had its origin in India and which has been reproduced, with modifications, in California, through the mountains of our middle country and by the sea. The original bungalow was of one story; all the rooms being on the ground floor; frequently houses of this type were built partly or wholly around an open square or patio. With characteristic disregard for precedent, however, we seem to have arrived at the conclusion that a house of one story or of one story and a half — heretofore known as a cottage — may properly be classed as a bungalow. Since the dignity of the small house will not suffer by this designation, there can be no good reason why we should not accept the designs herein shown as fairly representative of the modern American bungalow.

      What we most need in America is a better class of small domestic architecture, one which shall provide us with houses more wholesome in their external appearance and more satisfying in their internal arrangement and finish.

      The one notable feature in connection with home building today is the interest everywhere manifested, in the fundamentals which insure a good house. These may be set down as style, plan and the materials of construction.

      In order to secure style — and by this we mean those external forms which, even though simple, are refined — that shall reflect the best practice of our time, no better receipt can be given than — go to a good architect. The same source will supply the needed help for the arrangement of the plan.

      As to materials of which to build the house, there is nothing which will give it so much dignity, stability and permanency as Brick — but of this we shall have more to say in the following pages.

      No attempt has been made in this book to arrange the designs, following those which were given Prizes and Mentions, in the order of their
