Dr. T. E. Miller Home

THE modern bungalow residence of Dr. T. E. Miller and family at 2300 W. 108th Place, has a distinctive and attractive appearance and an arrangement that can hardly be beat for convenience in a bungalow.

From the picture above one would call the home a single-story structure, but there is ample room for three upstairs rooms. Dr. Miller intends to finish the three upper rooms soon, but as yet the top floor is used only as an attic.

Downstairs the bungalow has seven rooms and a bath. The distinctive feature of the arrangement is the long hallway through the center, which is not, however, connected with the front entrance. From it access is made to the bedrooms. The hallway is gained through the living room, into which the front entrance leads. The hall arrangement makes for a privacy seldom attained in bungalows.

Attractive color schemes are carried out in all of the rooms. The living room is done in mulberry and taupe, with mahogany wood trim, and the dining room has a scheme in which blue tones predominate. The silver fixtures in the latter combine with the color scheme for an unusual effect. The sun room, which has a southern exposure, is done in blue and gold in moderated tones. Central chandeliers and wall fixtures of the candle type are used for the lighting.

The kitchen, done all in white, is very conveniently arranged. The rear entrance opens into it, and from this entrance there are doors leading to a pantry and to the basement.

The exterior of the house is done in sand-colored stucco of fine-grain finish with red brick foundation. The roof presents a pleasing effect with its long, gracefully sweeping lines that parallel each other. There are no porches, but the sun room, with its many windows, can be opened in the summer time to serve as one quite readily. The view pictured above is of the south side of the home facing 108th Place.
