From Kentucky to New York, Oregon to Southern California, this Spring 2000 collection of clapboard, shingle, brick and stucco bungalows feels like home.

Arts & Crafts Trivia:
Look for the dentil detailing on one of the homes.  Answer appears below...

	Charlotte, NC, Kevin and Holly Thompson We have the original blueprints for our brick bungalow, dated 1928. There are three bedrooms, and between the dining room and kitchen is a butler's pantry with a built-in china cabinet and dining booth. The full bath still has its original tub and mosaic tile floor, and there are oak floors throughout.
Nevada City, CA, Patricia Green When I stripped all of the woodwork in my 1915 bungalow, I discovered that the first owner's name was written on the back sides. I have a wonderful old bathroom upstairs with an original mosaic tile floor, and coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms. The house is beautifully sited with huge granite boulders and a year-round creek in the backyard, where gold was first discovered in the area. Later there was a Chinese camp on the site and relics still turn up in the yard.
	Bowling Green, KY, Charles and Patricia Reid Our 1910 Craftsman is located in a newly designated historic downtown area. All of the windows in our home are a different size. Most of the downstairs ones have multiple small panes, which was a specialty of the builder. Much of the woodwork was removed by previous owners, and the original front porch banisters were taken out in the '70s, but we're trying to eliminate the modernizations and put the house back to its proper time. We love it!
Pendleton, OR, Holly Thau and Henry Werner Our house is one of three modest 1920s bungalows that were built between two large, elegant homes here in rural eastern Oregon. The builder and original owner was a woman, and until 1993, the bungalow remained within the family. It had many structural and aesthetic problems when we bought it-extensive wet and dry rot, dangerous plumbing, orange and chartreuse carpeting-and it has been a challenge to renovate with limited access to craftspeople and a modest budget.
	El Segundo, CA, Louis and Anne Jensen We are in the process of rehabilitating this wonderful 1912 Craftsman house. It was built for the first mayor of the town, and sits on a prime hilltop location. The house was in a state of total neglect when we bought it, and all of the original built-in cabinets had been removed. We have added a new set of stairs, which lead to a bedroom, bath and walk-in closet in the remodeled attic, and rebuilt one of the stone pillars using original rock. We are carefully doing the work this lovely old home needs.
Salina, KS, Alan Stolfus and Valyne Pochop My wife was sold on our house by the large screened front porch and equally large porch swing. The oak woodwork and bookshelves sold me. It was built in 1920 and has many of the original light fixtures and push-button switches-plus 54 windows! As an uncle once said, our house is a home, unlike many of the newer, larger houses built today.
	Grandville, MI, Jason and Sara Sundria Our Cape Cod-style bungalow has an enclosed front porch and a wood shake and siding exterior with dentil detailing. The interior is largely intact: original floors, woodwork, paneled doors with copper hardware, built-in cabinets with leaded glass and even a 1921 chandelier in the dining room. We are also lucky to have a handwritten copy of the deed to this property that dates back to 1835.
Rochester, NY, Gary and Linda Bouchard Our 1925 Colonial Revival has site-built gumwood cabinets in the kitchen and bath, and many gumwood doors throughout. A major remodel tuned the upstairs into a master bedroom, while a kitchen redesign added a built-in dining area with Craftsman-style wainscoting. During Prohibition, several homes in the area had special cellars built to hide bootleg liquor from across the Canadian border.
