1724 Main, 1911; M. L. Waller, Ft. Worth, architect
This style developed from the work of the Greene brothers, two southern California architects who designed and built several landmark houses between 1903 and 1909. They based their designs on the English Arts and Crafts movement, Oriental wooden architecture, and the Prairie Style, resulting in intricately detailed buildings with open floor plans. As magazines publicized their work, it became the most popular style for smaller houses throughout the country - including Lubbock - most often in one-story variations like those found throughout the Overton area. Characteristics of the Bungalow style include low-pitched, gabled roofs; wide, open eaves supported by decorative beams or braces and with exposed rafter tails; full- or partial-width porches; sturdy, tapered square porch columns of stone, brick, clapboard, shingle, or stucco (or a combination of materials) either extending to ground level, or resting on massive piers or a solid porch balustrade; sloping foundation walls; gabled or shed dormers; and wooden trellises over porches or porte cocheres.
