With parents who grew up in Berwyn (but not in a bungalow), my fascination with these homes has waxed and waned over the years. Now a bungalow owner myself, that fascination is in full effect and I'm excited for this weekend's walking tour:
The Berwyn Historical Society invites you to participate in “Historic Berwyn’s Bungalow Tour” to be held on Sunday June 1, 2008 — from noon to 5 pm.
Celebrate a housing style that defined an era and join us for this leisurely walking tour featuring a variety of the community’s finest homes and an historic church open to the public on Sunday, for a one day showing.
Learn the history of each home while being treated to a variety of interior spaces. You'll gain valuable ideas and insight for your own vintage home.
All ticket sale proceeds will benefit the Berwyn Historical Society. (Cost: $20)
Anyone in Chicago, Berwyn or beyond planning on attending?

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
I wish they had a bungalow tour in St. Louis
This Tour is BACK in 2010 with new homes.
