Landscaping is an important part of a bungalow's appeal. Climbing roses and vines, meandering paths and naturalistic plantings were seen commonly in brochures for kit homes and photographs of period bungalows. Gustav Stickley's The Craftsman regularly published articles urging bungalow dwellers to plant flower and vegetable gardens, and otherwise embrace nature. The Saratoga, Hamilton and South Portland homes all merge particularly well with their surrounding flora.

How many homes below have "three-over-one" windows? Answer appears below...

	Collingswood, NJ, Robert and Rebecca Alexander Our home was built around 1934 in a small New Jersey suburb along the train line that runs to Philadelphia. The original roof was slate, rather than wood, to prevent fires from ashes coming from the passing steam trains. There is mahogany paneling in the living room and dining room, and a stained-glass window in the entry. The kitchen was remodeled and the dormers added in 1993.
Louisville, KY, Robert and Reda Logsdon Our Craftsman is a 1925 builder's home set in historic Crescent Hill. There are a number of bungalows in our neighborhood, and our house was even used in a poster promoting "The Ideal Home" for the J.B. Speed Art Museum. We agree, and love its arched front porch, stucco finish and exposed knee braces and rafter tails.
	Kittredge, CO, Jack and Lori Lapp A local developer and builder of log bungalows built this home in the mountains to the west of Dever in 1924. The area has many Craftsman-style houses that were originally vacation homes before the advent of air conditioning. It was constructed of old-growth logs over a stone-and-mortar foundation. The wraparound porch was added post World War II, and was built from surplus ammunition shell crates. The interior was varnished with a dark stain and has a white quartz fireplace in the living area.
St. Paul, MN, Lindy Eckstrom and Chris Rohrer We have built-in oak bookcases, china cabinets and a buffet in our 1,400-square-foot Craftsman. Our 1922 house is on the edge of St. Paul's Midway neighborhood, an area that was built-up primarily during the 1910s and '20s. A second bath has been added off the kitchen, replacing a rear-entry mudroom. Improvements over the past four years include interior paint and extensive landscaping. This is a neighborhood of affordable homes, most of which are in good shape; it's a great place to live.
	St. Paul, MN, Mary Reichardt My house was built in 1923 for $5,800. The kitchen was completely updated in 1987 and keeps the integrity of the home. All of the woodwork, including the built-in sideboard in the dining room and the crown moldings, was recently restored. The house has 1,100 square feet, with two small bedrooms and a bath off a narrow side hall. Mary shared her neighborhood with us in Issue No. 22's "In St. Paul, Bungalows Are Back."
Placerville, CA, Douglas Munro My home was built in 1915 by a Swiss doctor who owned some 10,000 acres of orchard land above Placerville. It is built like a tank in what I would say is a Prairie/Craftsman style. Overall, the style emphasizes horizontal planes and has a large chimney and porch pillars; the interior has clean, uncluttered lines. The walls and fireplace are made out of vitrified clay blocks, and the interior and exterior is stucco. This is a hot climate in the summer, so all windows are wood casements that open fully for maximum nightime cooling.
	Norwood, NY, John MacDonald The exterior of my 1920 bungalow is Permastone over wood clapboards. Almost all of the windows still have the original wooden storm windows. Inside there is oak woodwork in the downstairs front rooms, and painted pine elsewhere. There are square pillars on both sides of the archway between the living room and dining room, and cork floors upstairs.
Baker City, OR, Rudyard and Forest Coltman The Wendt family built this bungalow-what they considered a "high society" home-in1916. The living room's two "Chicago-style" windows flanking the large picture window are believed to be a trademark of the architect, Sam French. There are four others Arts and Crafts homes in our town of 10,000 that have the same window configuration. We are transforming the '60s-era kitchen back to a period look with '40s appliances.
Three-over-one: The two St. Paul, Minn., homes have windows with three panes over a single pane of glass-a common bungalow-era treatment.
