The bungalow was one of the most
popular styles of housing in the
twentieth century before World War
II. Typically the features of a
bungalow
consist of:
- a low profile of one or one-and-a-half
stories
- a low-pitched
roof which has widely overhanging
gables or eaves with decorative
braces
- the gables often form
a porch with square columns
or heavy battered piers, so the
porch
is
included under the same
low, overhanging roof as the main
house
- the presence of built-in cabinets,
shelves, and seating
- the emphasis on the natural
quality of materials such as wood
Its
practical layout--with
living space all on one floor around
one central
room--and its affordability,
combined with artistic touches,
appealed to a wide audience.
As the style gained in popularity,
designs proliferated across the
country through pattern books and
mail order catalogs by companies
such as Sears, Roebuck & Co. and
Montgomery Ward.
This list includes structures
identified as bungalows by searching
the online
Historic
American Buildings Survey/Historic
American Engineering
Record (HABS/HAER) records and by
consulting reference
files in the P&P Reading Room
and books in the Library of Congress
collections. It includes those
sites for which the
HABS documentation has been digitized--the
majority of the bungalows documented
by HABS.
As additional documentation is digitized
from the HABS/HAER
Collection,
entries will be added.
