low order, or rather modification
OF the bungalow idea. Properly speak.
ing. a bungalow has only one floor,
but here we have slight departure
from this rule. though the resem.
blance to that type OF house Is still
maintained.
The bungalow developed In this
country on the Pacific coast. The
idea, probably. was originally brought
from India. although a great many
architects claim that the modern bun.
galow Is really the outgrowth OF the
log cabins and the sod and adobe
houses Of the early inhabitants Of the
United States. Probably bungalow
architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that we have very comfortable,
low.cost house. and the bungalow type
OF structure is being extensively built
In different parts of the country and
Is constantly increasing In popularity.
