The Wikipedia article did surprise me with all of its examples of US bungalows! I would never have thought of them as that -- they're *houses*. *g* My only thought was that it's a term that used mainly in the East or possibly anywhere outside the "middle," or it has fallen out of use only in the past few decades (which would explain why it was in my mother's childhood copy of Nancy Drew). But actually, if it's a design term, that would make a lot of sense -- I don't read design and architectural literature, and if it's not used in ordinary conversation or in real estate circles, I wouldn't have heard it.

Thank you!
