SEASIDE
BUNGALOWS
On the following pages are
illustrated a few designs for
seaside bungalows selected
from among a number sent
in recently for a competition
in which those who partici-
pated were left a practically
free hand to deal with the
problem—the only reserva-

by an influential body of citizens, mainly on the
ground that a new gallery was not required, the
present gallery being, in their opinion, fully adequate
for the needs of the town.
