The Bungalow house style of architecture is a single family house type whose popularity grew in the western United States at the turn-of-the-century. Bungalows offered low cost, simple living quarters with an artistic touch to many Americans getting by on modest means. With its special features – style, convenience, simplicity, sound construction, and excellent plumbing – the bungalow filled more than the need for shelter. It provided fulfillment of the American dream.
Types of Bungalow Styles include: California, Arts & Crafts (Craftsman), Mission, Tudor, Prairie, Pueblo, Chicago, Cape Cod, and Moderne.
