American House tells the story of the development of domestic architecture in the Untied States, from Native American longhouses, pueblos and tipis to the postmodern adventures of Frank Gehry and the new 'planned communities' exemplified by Seaside and Celebration. Architectural style - among the most visible signs of cultural values - is the primary focus of the book and the history of style in American housing is as rich and complex as the history of the country itself. An introduction provides a broad overview of the history of American houses and the forces - cultural, technological, economic and geographic - that shaped them. Subsequent chapters cover early 'folk' architecture; the colonial architecture of New England and the houses built under the influence of the Dutch, French and Spanish; the increasing refinement that came with Palladian and Federalist styles; the revival of European styles in the first half of the 19th century; early workers' housing; High Victorian style, encompassing 'stick' and 'shingle' houses, among many other developments; the eclecticism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the Prairie School: the influence of modernism and the international

"At the beginning of the 20th century, a shift began in the way Americans believed they should live. Progressive ideals sought an informal home environment connected to nature, and the popular Arts and Crafts movement's design philosophy reinforced that influence. The American bungalow was developed in response to those ideals, and as electric streetcars opened the urban periphery to development, "streetcar suburbs" full of bungalows proliferated. Particularly in the younger, developing cities of the early 20th century, residential areas are dominated by the American bungalow. In these "streetcar suburbs" early 20th century Americans could live the suburban ideal while taking advantage of urban amenities and infrastructure. Streetcars provided transit to jobs in the city and as the transit lines were extended, so were electricity and plumbing for bungalow developments. For the first time, the average American worker could afford to own a detached, single-family, modern house on a small plot of land. It was the beginning of the "American Dream." This "bungalow era" ended as the automobile became the primary American personal transportation mode. The "suburbs" now extended as far as Americans wished to drive and as the exodus to the "automobile suburbs" began, the streetcar suburbs- and the urban core - were left behind. As the 21st century began, urban renewal projects of the late 20th century were successfully revitalizing many urban areas, and reviving interest in living in and near "the city." Concurrent with concerns focusing on the environmental impact qf suburban "sprawl," a new urban ideal began to emerge. As Americans sought a way to maintain their suburban lifestyle while enjoying the "amenities" of the city, the early 20th century "streetcar suburbs" gained renewed interest and popularity. These neighborhoods of tree- lined streets with "small" houses on manageable plots of land combined with their position on the urban periphery to make them once again the ideal American home, only this time for 21st century suburbanites trying to get closer to the city, rather than 20th century urbanites seeking to escape it. Because of this connection to these now semi-urban areas, the American bungalow has come to be identified with this new urban ideal, and new housing developments are utilizing features of the early 20th century bungalow in their designs- some are even attempting to recreate the urban/suburban mix typical of the old streetcar suburbs in the "automobile suburbs" of the late 20th century"--Document.

In the early twentieth century, the appearance of new houses across the United States shifted dramatically. Rejecting the elaborate decoration and complexity of Victorian homes, these new houses featured open, parlorless interiors and a minimalist aesthetic, radiating an aura of warmth, coziness, and naturalness. Nowhere were such residences more evident than in West Coast cities, especially Seattle, where explosive growth generated entire neighborhoods of this new house type--the bungalow. It was the nation's first modern home, and it established the essential characteristics of popular housing for the rest of the twentieth century. In The Seattle Bungalow, Janet Ore modifies the common notion that architectural change flows only from the design elite--the architects, domestic reformers, and planners who advocate for changes in domestic architecture--and argues that ordinary people played a crucial role in creating the bungalow. Through their growing power as consumers, modest-income families influenced the physical form of early twentieth-century houses and suburban landscapes. Still operating within a nineteenth-century labor and contracting system, small home builders responded to rising consumer demand for new conveniences such as electricity and central heating by simplifying their structures. Ambitious salespeople-real estate agents, plan book purveyors, and builders--created a new market for affordable small houses through astute advertising and financing. And once families acquired their homes, they used them flexibly, adapting their lives to their domestic spaces and refashioning their homes when necessary. From such efforts sprang the Seattle bungalow, an artifact of ordinary people's part in creating modern culture. Janet Oreis assistant professor of history at Colorado State University and has been a contributing writer toPacific Northwest QuarterlyandPerspectives in Vernacular Architecture. "Janet Ore's subject - the origins, marketing, development, and legacy of working-class housing in Seattle - offers an opportunity not only to explore architectural history but to characterize the economic, aesthetic, moral, and social dimensions of such housing." - Dennis Andersen, co-author ofDistant Corner: Seattle Architects and the Legacy of H. H. Richardson "A valuable record of the housing boom that transformed the American suburban landscape in the first decades of the twentieth century." - Kingston Heath, Director, Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, University of Oregon
