Here's a definition of Bungalow from the Twin Cities Bungalow Club Web site:

Bungalow: 1903-1930

The bungalow is a one, or one-and-a-half, story house with a gently sloping roof (usually a gable, sometimes a hipped roof) and a small front porch. Rafter tails at the eaves are exposed and sometimes decorated. Brackets give structure to the overhang of the gables. Siding may be clapboard, shingles or stucco. Windows are single or double-hung casements with multiple panes. Stained glass is sometimes used. The front door most often opens directly into the living room, and the interior space has an open feeling. Key elements may be a built in china hutch, or a fireplace made of stone or rough brick. Originally, woodwork in the main rooms was unpainted, though woodwork in bedrooms was often painted fir. These homes were often assembled as "kits" and buyers could pick through a booklet or catalog of home designs and floor plans. The kit bungalow brought professionally designed homes of quality material to the reach of the working class through the new technique of mass-production. To many, the bungalow was the American Dream. (Local example: The leading housing style in the Longfellow Neighborhood of South Minneapolis.)
