Cite 16: The Houston Bungalow
Winter 1986
Editor’s Note
William F. Stern was the guest editor of Cite 16. Although he did not write an editor's note or introduction, he ends his article, "The Lure of the Bungalow," with a conclusion that speaks to the housing theme of the issue:
"The era of the bungalow in Houston left a remarkable legacy. The bungalow was the first small, inexpensively priced house of the automobile suburbs, anticipating patterns of urban expansion that have continued to dominate Houston's growth. Although the car has allowed Houston to expand ever further across the plains many leagues from the neighborhoods of Montrose, Woodland Heights, and Eastwood, there is today within these early suburban neighborhoods a repository of well-preserved bungalows, as appealing to the present generation as they were in the early part of the century. The bungalows and their neighborhoods speak of a popular Utopian vision of a society where shelter in a natural setting, and in an artistic, well-planned dwelling was made available on the simplest of terms and at a price affordable to the working man and woman."
