We just bought this little 1919 bungalo and were wondering if it is a kit home and if so , what kind? It needs work but it really is in good shape, mostely cosmetic. Anyways I hope someone can help us out. Thank you.
Here is the link to the pictures of it.

The reason I am asking is there are a lot of these homes in this town. We rented a home too that had almost the same floorplan but the bathroom was moved and it didn't have a walk-up attic...and it had 2 bedrooms and no parlor..but the floor plans were alike...just that where the parlor is in ours, a bedroom was in the rental...And the house next to the rental had the same floor plan as the rental....so, am just wondering if there were a lot of kit houses built here or did some builder go through and build a lot of these little bungalows...

It's more likely someone built several of the same plan as workmen's cottages or rentals.

Despite the popularity of kits now, there were far more houses built that were not kits. It's not impossible that it's a kit ... you'll have to get into the attic and look for stamps or markings on the beams, hardware, etc. The house can tell you a lot.

The style is more Queen Anne cottage than bungalow ... the roof in particular is a more 1900-1910 shape but it wasn't uncommon to see older details on later buildings.

Also, go to the city or county and check tax and property records for not only your house but some of the other ones like yours to see if they were built by the same person. It's possible some information might surface that could help. County or town historical records and newspapers might contain clues, too.
