The bungalow style can be traced to India, where it was used by the British in the 19th century to designate a house type that was one story high and had large, encircling porches. Low houses with wide roofs and deep arches were common in Bengal. Our word is a British corruption of the Hindu adjective meaning 'belonging to Bengal'.
-
In 1909, in his Craftsman Homes, Gustav Stickley sought to tell what the style was all about, declaring that a bungalow was a "house reduced to its simplest form," one that "nevr fails to harmonize with its surroundings, because its low broad proportions and lack of ornamentation give it a character so natural and unaffected that its seems to blend into any landscape".
-
Much of the year, the bungalow spreads out-of-doors. At the Berthelot home, four French doors open into the screened porch, which is comfortably furnished for relaxing, eating, and entertaining. In this Northwest Florida climate, the cooler autumn and gloriously floral spring are especially welcoming, but the shady setting, southern architecture, and a ceiling fam lure folks out even on hot summer days and nights.
