California Bungalows of the Twenties - Henry L. Wilson The beloved Spouse gave me two books of historical USian house plans: one of late 19th century and one of early 20th. And if you're the sort of person who just enjoys looking at floorplans, they're both good. But while the Queen Anne are interesting with their towers and window seats and servants rooms and staircases, they aren't actually appealing as houses in which to live. The bungalows have got them beat all to hell and gone. The rooms tend to be similar in size, there are enough bathrooms, that sort of thing. I'd love to know what it would cost to build one now.Personal copy

The ebook version I got is to glitched to actually enjoy looking through. The majority of the floor plan is centered on one page cutting off a part of the plan. The cut off part of the plan is on the next page usually it's covering the text or the art that's on that page. At other times the cut off part of the plan pushing the text or art to the very edge so it's also cut off.

Another fun Dover publication chock-full of "smaller" (by today's standards) home plans from the 1920's.
