This is one of the few houses built in Hebron Center in the early 1900’s.  It was probably built around 1920 and represents a bungalow style house built during the arts and crafts revival of the 1920’s.  By the 1920’s Americans were tired of the overly elaborate Victorian style made possible in part by machines that could reproduce moldings and trim in an affordable manner.  

By the early 1900’s taste changed and focused on simple line.  The Bungalow style originated in Bengal India when the British Empire stretched across the world.  It was designed to provide a comfortable living arrangement in a tropical area. One story high with a broad roof line that usually included a porch, the open concept interior of a Bungalow house in the United States became very fashionable for middle class homes and beach communities.  

With central heating, electric lights, and indoor plumbing, this house had more modern amenities than most houses in Hebron Center in the early 1900’s

Think about it.

If your house today didn’t have a furnace, electricity, or and indoor bathroom, how would that change the way you lived in the house?
