The Bungalow home style was popular in the U.S. from 1905 to 1930. Bungalows featured a low-pitched roof, wide eaves with exposed roof rafters, decorative braces, and a porch with square columns. The name Bungalow is derived from Bengal, India where houses were called bangla or bangala. The Bungalow has made a recent comeback to some new home neighborhoods.
