Paul Duchscherer & Douglas Keister

Hardback with slipcover, first edition 1995, 152 pages, beautifully illustrated

From the Slipcover

“In the very early years of the century America was putting down its roots and searching for its own identity in housing architecture.  It wasn’t until the bungalow style emerged unfettered by Greek, Gothic, or Italianate overtones that America finally had a domestic architectural style to call its own.

“In this landmark book—the first on this important subject to be published almost entirely in color—one is able to appreciate the almost infinite variety of the bungalow style.  The book contains 197 illustrations of which 182 are in full color and include 102 exterior photographs and 80 that show the beauty of the interior architecture, furnishings, and decorative objects.”

Notice the use of Navajo rugs in many of the rooms.  Navajo rugs were very popular during the American Arts & Crafts period.
