Bungalow Architecture In Georgia (U
A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is either single-story or has a second story built into a sloping roof (usually with dormer windows), and may be surrounded by wide verandas.

In America it was initially used as a vacation architecture, and was most popular between 1900 and 1918, especially with the Arts and Crafts movement. The term bungalow is derived from the word and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style."

Historians also debate the nature of history as an end in itself, as well as its usefulness to give perspective on the problems of the p ...
