Bungalow

A bungalow house in Houston, Texas

A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is single-story,[1] and may be surrounded by wide verandas.[1][2]

The first house in England that was classified as a bungalow was built in 1869.[1] In America it was initially used as a vacation architecture, and was most popular between 1900 and 1918,[3] especially with the arts and crafts movement.[4][2]

The term bungalow is derived from the word bangla and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style".[5]
