(1) The bungalow is a type of housing unit that emerged in the late 19th century. It is a one-story or one-and-a-half-story house that is typically small in size and has a low-pitched roof with wide eaves that often extend to form a porch.

In the United States, the bungalow style became popular in the early 20th century, particularly in the western states where it was seen as a way to adapt to the climate and terrain of the region. Bungalows were often built in neighborhoods where land was relatively cheap and could be subdivided into small lots. The bungalow style continued to evolve throughout the 20th century, with many variations and adaptations, including the California bungalow, the Chicago bungalow, and the Craftsman bungalow. |
