The first Bungalows in the United States, as we might recognize them, appeared after the Philadelphia Centennial celebrations of 1876. More Americans became interested in applying new principles to architecture, striving to move away from European precedents. The Bungalow was the result of the overthrow of Eclecticism, in an attempt to apply more simplicity and honesty in style and materials to American homes. Generally, the Arts and Crafts movement was a reaction to the extravagant, machined, and mass-produced Victorian styles that in turn represented the Industrial Revolution.

By the 1890s, the bungalow form in America had diffused to the West Coast, particularly via San Francisco and Southern California. It is the so-called California Bungalow that became the rage in pattern books across the nation and was reproduced into the various forms of middle-and working-class housing and some elaborate, high-style examples. The popularizing of the west-coast bungalow has been generally credited to the Greene and Greene brothers and their architectural firm in Pasadena, CA. In 1902-1903, Charles and Henry Greene were influenced by the vernacular style of board and shingle buildings in California as well as authentic Japanese sources.听

The Bungalow form became the common builder鈥檚 house between 1910-1920, influenced by Greene and Greene. Numerous 鈥淏ungalow books鈥� promoted the new style and form. The type, with many variants, included these features: low, gabled, one or one-and-a-half storied house, and a front pitch of roof extended to shelter a large incised porch.

By the 1990s, the Craftsman style and its associated Bungalow form were enjoying a revival across the United States, which has yet to ebb. More Americans are either restoring older Bungalows or purchasing newer 鈥淣eo-Craftsman.鈥� Bungalows are constructed now by larger production builders or as specially designed custom homes.
