Bungalow (early 20th century) – a small one-story or 1 ½ story house, usually having a low profile and of frame construction. Relatively low in cost and often built to plans taken from a pattern book or bought as a kit house.
Craftsman style (1905-1930) – a low-pitched gable roof (sometimes hipped) with wide, unenclosed eave overhang; roof rafters that are often exposed with decorative (false) beams or braces added under the gables; porch roof often supported by square columns on piers or full height (ground to porch roof) columns of different materials; columns often battered (tapered); often has cottage windows; dormers common (gabled or shed) and also often with exposed rafters or braces. The dominant small house style from about 1905 through the 1920s. The Craftsman style was popularized by the Greene Brothers in southern California (1893-1914) who may be best known for the Gamble House. Many patterns and kits were available.
