About the humble bungalow
Bungalow drawing
These narrow, rectangular one and one-half story houses originated in California during the 1880s as a reaction to the elaborate decoration of Victorian homes. The style then moved eastward to the Midwest in the early 20th century, where it remained popular until the Great Depression.
Bungalows have low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs and small covered porches at the entry. The style became so popular that you could order a bungalow kit from Sears and Roebuck catalog. The name “bungalow” had its origins in India, where it indicated a small, thatched home.
There are several neighborhoods in Northern Virginia were bungalows are not uncommon. Burgundy Village is near the Huntington Metro and many homes there were originally bungalows. There are quite a few bungalows in Del Ray in Alexandria Virginia.

History of Franconia
This brief history of Franconia is from the sign pictured above, which is posted by the Fairfax County History Commission in front of the Franconia Post Office on Franconia Road in Fairfax County VA.
“‘Frankhonia Farm’ was situated on 191 acres purchased in 1859 by Alexandria merchant and businessman William Fowle from John Broders of Oak Grove Farm. His son, Robert Rollins Fowle, sold 18 acres to the Alexandria & Fredericksburg Railway Company in 1871 for a station which was named after the farm. The station served as Garfield Post Office from 1881 to 1890 and again from 1898 to 1907. Initially situated south of Franconia Road near present day Fleet Drive, the station was relocated after a fire in 1903 to the north side of Franconia Road. Regular service at Franconia Station was discontinued circa 1953.”
