The house of the common man becomes an American classic. The bungalow emerged as a popular housing style in America from 1910 to 1930. Simpler than the Victorians that preceded them, bungalows are typically found parked in neat rows in city neighborhoods. D.C. Portions of the neighborhood are listed in the National Register of Historic places and contain particularly good examples of bungalows in varying sizes and degrees of restoration. There is a deliberate use of natural materials like wooden shingles and clapboards, cobblestones and rough-faced brick for exterior walls, porch columns and chimneys.
Porches extend across the front of the house and are supported by wide squat or battered columns.
Windows are usually casement or double-hung with many small single panes combined with larger single panes. All Rights Reserved.
