Bungalows Becoming More
Popular Every Day

The name Bungalow comes to us from
India, and literally means Bengalese
house. In India It also means a one
story house having verandas. either
thatch or tile roof. and often windows
opening down to the ground. One
pretty feature OF bungalow building
is the pergola, a trellis having two lines
OF parallel pillars which bear overhead
side rails and cross bars. Its mission is
to support vines. The pergola serves as
a porch. veranda or shade for a walk.
Perhaps the finest feature to catch
the eye is the roof. which is expansive,
thus assuring comfort and shelter from
sun and rain. Bungalow roofing mater
iais include all kinds of shingles. shakes
and tiias.
The enclosing walls OF the bungalow.
including chimney and foundation walls.
are also rich in variety of materials.

dcial quarry and cobbie stones. cement.
