Winter may be the best bungalow season of all. What style of home is more welcoming or looks better dusted with a blanket of snow? Notice the interesting rooflines of these American bungalows. Some, like the Martin, Ga., home have "Union Jack" attic windows or complex porch rafters and cross members like the Newport, Tenn., house. Another-the little Gable-Front bungalow in Little Rock, Ark.-revels in its symmetrical plainness.

Which home has an "eyebrow" dormer? Answer appears below...

	Tacoma, Wash., Stephanie Bloomfield and Scott Presnell In the Puget Sound region we have lots of bungalows, but we rarely see them cloaked in a blanket of snow. We purchased our 1917 bungalow in 1997 and were lucky that the original woodwork, light fixtures and windows remained. The house has built-in bookcases with leaded-glass doors in the living room, and a matching sideboard and china cabinet in the wainscoted dining room. The quartersawn oak and vertical-grain fir floors have been refinished after years of being covered with carpets. With the golden light spilling out of the windows and over the snow, this photograph looks like a Christmas card.
Martin, Ga., Diane Yow Cole The Pope Yow House was built in 1920. It was designed by a well-known woman architect from Atlanta, and has 16 rooms, including a 44-foot-long hall. It has five fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings and a heart-pine exterior. My husband Mike and I now own the 5,000-square-foot bungalow, which was built for my grandparents, Pope and Donnah Yow, and has remained in our family.
	Little Rock, Ark., Carol Young My 1929 bungalow does not have the typical features of many of the older homes in my neighborhood, but since I sell Arts and Crafts furniture and accessories, I am slowly furnishing it with period pieces. The exterior, set against an unusual snowfall for our area, is painted "Weathered Shingle" from the Sherwin-Williams Roycroft Palette. My future plans include installing a built-in table and benches in my breakfast nook, and replacing the six-panel front door with one in the Craftsman style.
South Bend, Ind., John and Sidney Blanchet-Ruth The original owner of our 1929 home was the Notre Dame basketball coach of the period. The unusual rolled roof and extensive garden have made our bungalow a bit of a local landmark. We count ourselves very fortunate to have found an older home that had been so well loved and maintained over the years. Once we thought we would never get over missing New England farmhouses; now we have become dedicated "bungalowphiles." They are the greatest!
	Bozeman, Mont., Barb Cribb We tried to incorporate today's conveniences along with classic bungalow designs-both interior and exterior-in our new bungalow-style home. When it came time to paint the exterior, I was planning to go with a boring but safe color scheme. I've always loved green, but didn't have the courage to paint this big (9,500-square-foot) house in my favorite color. Then Issue No. 23 came, with the article "How Shall I Paint My House?" and I instantly knew what to do. I can't tell you how many compliments we get, and how thankful I am that my magazine got here in time!
Newport, Tenn., Glenn and Beverly Chambers Our house is a landmark in this city because of its age and the family who built it. It's unique for its workmanship and the materials used in construction: all of the wiring is in conduit, which was unheard of in 1924. Contractors have told us that such materials are not even available today. The house has three stories, with pew-type benches in the breakfast nook, refinished dark woodwork, 27 wall-mounted lights, and chandeliers and fans throughout.
	Kamiah, Idaho, Richard and Heidi Lindsay Our bungalow is one of many in this small north-central Idaho town. Built in 1916, we are restoring it using 1920 photos. After replacing the foundation, restoring the gardens-including a sunken one-and re-enclosing the front porch, all we have left to do is remove the '60s aluminum siding and take it back to stucco and cedar shingle.
Stirling, N.J., Mitchell Andrus My wife and I knew nothing about Arts and Crafts, bungalows or Gustav Stickley way back in 1983, but when we walked into this house, we knew it had to be ours. The original varnished chestnut moldings, arched doorways, signature windows and built-ins flanking the fireplace made this period home special. It is one of eight in our neighborhood built between 1919 and 1924 by the same builder. Ours is the only one in brick. A 1990 addition to the rear allowed us to double the size of the kitchen, which is scheduled for a remodel this year-with quartersawn white oak cabinetry, of course.
Eyebrow Dormers: The small roof window on the South Bend, Ind. home that resembles an eye is called an eyebrow dormer. This attractive but non-functional style is most commonly seen on Queen Anne, Shingle and Craftsman homes.
