Bungalows in Colorado were quite popular from 1900 to 1930, and are found in practically every city and town throughout the state. The bungalow is a type of building originally from Bengal, India.
The meaning of the word bungalow varies in different countries, but common features include being low-rise and having verandas. In the United States and United Kingdom it is a residential building with one story or with a second story built into a sloping roof, usually with dormer windows, making it 1 & 1/2 stories. One of the best features is the full-width porch supported by battered porch piers topped by double wood supports.
Historically the bungalow style home represented the post WWI urban growth that spread across the country between 1920 and 1940.
With a focus today on smaller homes, the bungalow becomes a perfect style with warm and comfortable interiors, not to mention the expansive front porches.
