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,[3] especially with the arts and crafts movement.[4][2]
The term bungalow is derived from the word bangla and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style".[5]
