THE BIGGEST BUNGALOW ~ NOT REALLY

We end the historic bungalow section with  this 'tiny' home  found in Woodland Heights on Bayland Street. It was build in 1930 and is called the William  A. Wilson home. I guess you could say it's a Bungalow on Steroids.  This is a Chicago Style or Prairie Style home with long, horizontal roof lines.  I think Frank Lloyd Wright influenced an entire generation of architects and some of this style made it down to Houston during this time period. It's a magnificent home and difficult to photograph in one piece, considering it's a 6,363 square foot residence. It took me three shots to capture the entire side!

1920 CRAFTSMAN STYLE BUNGALOW

 We were on a bike ride in the Woodland Heights area and came across this stunning example of the Craftsman style. Notice the fixtures, the windows, the railings, and the porch. The roof pitch is quite remarkable and gives this house an intimate appeal.

 The wrought iron fence and concrete posts surround the beautiful landscaped garden.

The artwork and green texture garden complete the tour. It's sad, but there are many bungalows in our city that face demolision if not for the care and concern of people like these. I hope more will be saved and restored. They are small houses with a big heart.   Thanks for stopping by. I add a new home each week. The next will be quite a surprise! Each 10th house is like a JOKER in the deck of bungalow cards. See ya soon.  :-)
