Bungalow Style
The bungalow is a term that dates back to the 19th century when the British ruling class embarked on building an easy-to-construct rest house that they can use when visiting.
Henry and Charles Greene are given the credit for being the first ones to adopt the style. Bungalow-style houses usually feature squared or tapered columns that support the roof, a fireplace, and plenty of living space on the main floor.
Cape Cod Style
Cape Cod-style houses, as their name suggests, originated from the area of Cape Cod during the mid-1600s. In the beginning, these houses were designed to endure New England’s incredibly harsh winters.
They featured closable heavy shutters that protect the windows and ensure that the drafts remain down when heavy storms hit. Original Cape Cod houses had a central fireplace connected to chimneys all over the house for more efficient heating of separate parts of the house.
