Spanish Revival Bungalow

In California, Arizona, and other areas of the American southwest, bungalows often incorporated ideas borrowed from Spanish Colonial architecture. Spanish-inspired bungalows have many of these features:

• Low-pitched or flat roof
• Red tiles on roof
• Parapets
• Stucco-siding, usually painted white, cream, or tan
• Carved wooden doors
• Arched windows or doorways
• Decorative wrought iron railings and window grills
• Decorative glazed tile

A well-preserved example of Spanish style bungalows can be found in Long Beach, California where six courtyard homes form a small rental community at Brown's Court Apartments.
