The Chicago Bungalow by Dominic A. Pacyga & Charles Shanabruch, published by Chicago Architecture Foundation 2003 (First Edition)
Great volume on the history and design of the Chicago Bungalow, the classic neighborhood house type. A superb study of the architecture of the bungalow and its social history, including Chicago's Bungalow Belt. "After 1915, new neighborhoods appeared across the prairie. The Chicago-style bungalow came to both dominate and symbolize these areas. A one and one-half story single-family freestanding home, it included such conveniences as electricity, indoor plumbing, and central heat. Chicagoans built some 80,000 bungalows. Another 20,000 were built in suburban Cook County. Nearly every ethnic and racial group in the area has made its way at one time or another to the Bungalow Belt. Today the Bungalow Belt includes white ethnic, African American, Latino, and Asian families." Fantastic archival and contemporary photographs.
