we are in maine and just bought this house in tacoma. have been subscribers to ambung for many years but have not run across this style before. i know it is art and crafts, but i have hesitated to call it a bungalow. the houses around in the neighbrohoods look more traditional, porches and columns, etc. sorry to be posting a link instead of a pic, but we are in the throes of trying to move crosscountry and things are scattered. any comments on style would be appreciated. don and pat
