Description
Summary:"In the early twentieth century a new kind of house appeared across the United States. Rejecting the elaborate decoration and complexity of Victorian homes, these new houses featured open, parlorless interiors and a minimalist aesthetic, radiating an aura of warmth, coziness, and naturalness. Nowhere were such residences more evident than in West Coast cities, especially Seattle, where explosive growth generated entire neighborhoods of this new house type - the bungalow. It was the nation's first modern home, and it established the essential characteristics of popular housing for the rest of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
