As defined by Ontario Architecture; the Bungalow style is an American invention, popularized in California in the early 20th century. It was brought to Canada in the early 1910s. Bungalows are generally one or one-and-a-half storey homes with broad, low-pitched, roofs that seem to blanket the building. Large porches,overhangs, and verandas link the bungalow with the usually ample exterior space surrounding the building. Bungalows are almost exclusively residential and are often made of rustic materials such as stone and brick. The roofs are usually constructed with exposed structural framing.Brackets and braces can be quite ornate, but seldom contain any Classical elements; instead they are more like “Arts and Crafts” designs. In many Bungalows there are sleeping porches or a raised central sleeping area in the middle of the building.
