Bungaloz?

I'm impressed with the Australian examples, which are very very close to US style bungalows...you could mis-identify some of these as being from a US city very easily.

Here's what ive always seen as a "typical" bungalow, anyway:

The houses in England that I have seen called 'bungalows' are closer to what would be called a 'ranch' house in the US.

Around Chicago they are typically raised several feet above the grade and sit on a basement. Attic windows are common on many of them, even if the attic isn't high enough to use as living space. The windows add light to see around in the attic and give the exterior elevations more visual interest.

The California Bungalow was most popular between 1900 and 1920. The first California house dubbed "bungalow" was built by San Francisco architect A. Page Brown in the 1890s.

Gamble House: Pasadena, CA 1908







Spinks House: Pasadena, CA 1909

Fort Worth is also full of them. One neighborhood, called Fairmount, is supposedly the largest (in area) National Register Historic District containing them in the U.S.

Great thread! I really love a classic bungalow.

John is right - the Fairmount neighborhood in Fort Worth South, the district immediately south of downtown, is chock-full of classic bungalows from the teens and '20s. Formerly a poster-child of urban ruin thanks to suburban flight, Fairmount and the rest of Fort Worth South are really being reborn into a funky, cool urban village, and tons of the old bungalows have already been restored. It's a really cool neighborhood, especially for bungalow fans.

Just so happens I was in Fairmount today, so I thought I'd grab a few photos of the Fairmount neighborhood, the largest historic neighborhood in the southwestern United States. Fairmount, with more than one thousand contributing structures, is comprised of mostly bungalow and four square homes from the late 1800s through the early 1920s.

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mom
He's the all American bullet-headed Saxon mother's son
All the children sing

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
So Captain Marvel zapped in right between the eyes, zap!
All the children sing

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
"Not when he looked so fierce", his mummy butted in
If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him
All the children sing

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Oh ho!

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

[Eh up!]
