A puzzled reader submitted this photo to our House Style Helpline. "Built in 1920, the house is somewhat reminiscent of a bungalow," the homeowner writes. But instead of rustic Craftsman details, this home has classical details. So what style is it?
The house is a Colonial Revival Bungalow, with many of the same features found on much larger Colonial Revival houses built during the early 20th century.
Colonial Revival Bungalows have many of these features:
- Symmetrical, rectangular shape
- Temple-like entrance: portico topped by a pediment
- Classical Columns
- Shutters
- Garland and swag ornaments
