Adaptions of Bungalows in the Lower Peninsula/Cypress Swamp Zone of Delaware, 1880-1940+/-

Abstract
The period between 1880 and 1940 was a time of great growth in the urban population of the United States and Delaware. Accompanying this growth was the development of suburbs and new building types that expressed the values, desires, and economic situation of the suburban population. One of these new forms was the bungalow. Its thrifty style and easy- to-build design made it very attractive to urban dwel.lers seeking a new environment. During this period, a proliferation of bungalow advertisements, floor plans, and decorating ideas appeared in the popular literature of the period.
