Grace, beauty and comfort can be found in this 1909 California bungalow.
Bob and Karen stoltz can almost hear the words of self-proclaimed “Bungalow Man” Henry Wilson as they contemplate their house in Whittier, California, which is a variant of his Plan No. 382 in The Bungalow House. The “exact science” of its appeal might lie in the Douglas fir woodwork that retains its original finish, or in the compact plan that feels spacious and livable, or perhaps in the still functional kitchen. (The original owner of the house probably would have consulted Wilson’s 1908 plan book, as construction began in 1909. No. 382 showed one story, but this house was built as a one-and-a-half-story bungalow with an additional two bedrooms upstairs.)
