A COUNTRY CLUBHOUSE THAT IS BUILT LIKE A
LOG CABIN
        L have given the design of the Club-
W house at Craftsman Farms for the
         use of country clubs that may find
         such a plan desirable. As \ve use it
ourselves, it ~vill be the gen-
eral assembly    house of the
whole colony, so planned that
meals mar be served either in-
doors or out on a big veranda.
according to the weather, and
where  meetings,  lectures and
entertainments of all kinds may
be held by the people staying
at the Farms and accommoda-
lion provided for guests invit-
ed from the outside.  For our
own purpose, no form of build-
ing is so suitable and desirable
as a low, roomy house built of
logs, and we imagine that many
a country club   will find that
similar uses and surroundings
seem to demand a building of
this character.
  As will be seen by compari-
son of the exterior view of the
house  with   the plan of the
lower  floor, there are  three
main divisions in the building, indicated in
the perspective drawing by the projecting ends
of the logs which form the log partition be-
tween the reception  room and sitting room

                                                        and serve as the
outer wall of
                                                        the house on the
