West Coast Bungalows of the 1920s, With Photographs and Floor Plans
Mineola, NY: Dover Publications, 2006.
Paperback.
This Dover edition, first published in 2007, is an unabridged republication of the work originally published by E. W Stillwell & Co., Los Angeles, California, in 1919 under the title West Coast Bungalows.
With 50 examples of classic California bungalow designs including photographs, floor plans, estimated costs, and descriptions of exteriors and interiors - the catalog is an ideal resource for twenty-first century bungalow buyers and renovators, and for builders seeking details of authentic materials and techniques.
"It is better to build a small house than to overburden the budget with debt for a larger one," advised the noted architectural firm of Stillwell & Company. In their guide to economical homes, the Los Angeles-based builders declared, "A beautiful small house is just as expressive of character, aims, and aspirations as the large house. Mere size is a waste of money and human endeavor." The bungalow provided a practical, affordable answer to the huge demands of California's housing market in the 1920s.
