Bungalow House Styles
Executive Summary about Bungalow by Dane Smith

The word "bungalow" comes from the Indian word "bangla", which used to refer to homes built in a Bengal style. Once the first American bungalow was built in Cape Cod in 1879, the home style took off across the country.

The bungalows that now cover California are referred to as "California Bungalows", though the style is popular across the country, including here in Austin.
Though there are different styles of the bungalow, such as the Arts and Crafts, Prairie Style, and

Queen Anne, they all share similar qualities and features. Bungalows were built to battle the elaborate Victorian movement, and to return to warmer, family oriented housing where the craft of the homebuilder was showcased. Most bungalows also have large porches and stone chimneys leading to grand fireplaces inside.

Arts and Crafts homes, or Craftsman homes, have low-pitched roofs, wide eaves with triangular brackets, large porches with thick round or square columns. Inside, most Craftsman bungalows have many windows, exposed beam ceilings, and built-in cabinetry and seating.

Other bungalows, such as the 1922 Norwood House on Lady Bird Lake (currently under disrepair) are built in the Prairie style.

Executive Summary about Bungalow by Alice Lane

The term bungalow means slightly different things in other cultures and can offer different styles of luxury home plans as they relate to the bungalow style. In India bungalows of the past were smaller single story thatched roof houses but in modern times they are single story houses that can be very large. In South Africa the term means a small holiday house, a small log house or a wooden beach house. In all of the different bungalow styles around the world, there is a common consistent theme associated to the bungalow. It is the fact that a bungalow is primarily single storied and offers easy access to the living amenities of its inhabitants.

In the United States, potential bungalow home owners have their choice of many styles of bungalow house plans to select from.
