A detailed review extols a bungalow by the Mame builder highlighting an unusual plan with three dimensional interior levels and generous living space. The design emphasizes architectural refinements, stucco exterior, large windows, and a dramatic living room with a vaulted ceiling accessed from a front entry hall.
The design describes a five room bungalow on a lot sized 40 by 40 feet with a central living room, three bedrooms on the same floor, a dining area near the entrance hall, and a kitchen with a breakfast nook. A broom closet, basement stairs, and a front hall entry are noted along with exterior frame construction and possible plan reversal for better lot orientation.
When stucco is used it should be applied in different textures to homes of various period designs. Textures harmonize with architectural styles. a heavy brush finish suits Spanish dwellings but seems out of place on Colonial designs. Each period deserves appropriate exterior treatment.
The article surveys historic stucco textures tied to period houses. Spanish white yellow or pink rough surfaces catch light, while French, Italian and English cottage finishes use lighter tones or rough trowel work. Modern methods mimic these textures with brushes and controlled trowel marks.
