Did you know the winter home tour to raise money for DPA will feature homes from the MAK district? Did you know that ONE and ONA has pressured DPA to not include the words historic district in the advertising? Who exactly is running the assylum here?

They are laid out in a way that is skinnier from the front and deeper towards the back. This is the opposite for a ranch that is laid out more sideways with the front being longer and the house being less deep towards the back. This skinnier layout allows them to be placed in smaller skinnier lots in urban areas. I think the confusion is that houses with craftsmen or mission styles are often called bungalows even though they are not and bungalows often have craftsmen or mission style. Bungalow is the definition of the house structure not the style or architectural detail. With that in mind Bungalows often have similar style or architectural details (Craftsmen, Mission, Art Deco, and Art Nuevo to name a few).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
