The
Bungalow house plan is an all American architectural style, but the name
has its roots in India. In the province of Bengal, single-family homes
were called bangla or bangala. With typical features like low-pitched
shingled roofs, exposed beams and wood, stone and/or stucco siding, the
informal style of a Bungalow home became a very popular choice in all
regions of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s.

front porches and lots of windows invite you into open, yet cozy one to
one-and-a-half story floor plans. Bungalow floor plans usually cluster
the kitchen, dining area, bedrooms, and bathroom around a central living
area.
