The Bungalow

Not too dissimilar from yesterday’s Craftsman, Bungalow might be found in Clintonville, Worthington, Whitehall and South EastmoorThese narrow, rectangular one and one-half story houses originated in California during the 1880s as a reaction to the elaborate decoration of Victorian homes. A Bungalow might be found in Clintonville, Worthington, Whitehall and South Eastmoor.

The style then moved eastward to the Midwest in the early 20th century, where it remained popular until the Great Depression. Bungalows have low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs and small covered porches at the entry. The style became so popular that you could order a bungalow kit from Sears and Roebuck catalog. The name “bungalow” had its origins in India, where it indicated a small, thatched home.
