More on the J.O. Russell Bungalow

By Jim

A brief article about J.O. & Kizzie Russell's new bungalow appeared in the November 8, 1911 News:
A Beautiful Home

Mr. J.O. Russell's bungalow was completed last week, and beyond question, it is a very attractive home. Mr. Russell spared neither means nor time in arranging the building to his liking. All the rooms are hardwood finish, requiring the skill of four finished workmen a month or six weeks to complete the work.

It is certainly a modern home with every convenience, and great addition to Jamestown Street, and if Mr. Russell and his good wife have not a domicile to suit them to perfection, 'tis not because every energy was not bought to bear to bring about that result.
(Curiously enough, a boilerplate article in the News a week later disdainfully dismissed the Russell's chosen style of housing. saying in part, "The so-called bungalow type of dwelling is little more than a revival, under another name, of the old, plainer, pestiferous story and a half dwelling.")
