A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is single-storey,[1] sometimes with a smaller upper storey set in the roof and windows that come out from the roof,[2] and may be surrounded by wide verandas.[1][3]
The first house in England that was classified as a bungalow was built in 1869.[1] In the United States, it was initially used as a vacation architecture, and was most popular between 1900 and 1918,[4] especially with the Arts and Crafts movement.[5][3]
The term bungalow is derived from the word bangla and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style".[6]
