Bungalow Details: Exterior

What defines an Arts & Crafts bungalow? What makes it different from other small one or one-and-a-half story houses? Many say that it's hard to describe but you know one when you see it. And knowing one when you see it is all about knowing how to spot the details. With Arts & Crafts homes it is often the way the details are combined and the philosophy they represent that makes a house an authentic Arts and Crafts bungalow. It is not just knee braces in the gable nor a river rock column or a three part front window.
