Sears-Roebuck Co. helped to make this dream come true for many families in Lake Helen by selling bungalows like this one through their 229 South Euclid Avenue mail-order catalog! People would order the house they wanted, Sears would ship them the parts by train, and the homeowners put the house together themselves or hired a carpenter to do it for them. The Bunaglow style is among the most common historic residential design found in Lake Helen.
Bungalow Eleven of the residences in the district are Bungalows. A good example is the residence at 186 West Garden Street. It features a gable roof surfaced with metal 3-V crimp panels, knee braces in the gable ends, a corbeled brick chimney, and an end porch integrated under the primary roof. A gable bay extends at the west elevation. Wood shingles and drop siding serve as exterior wall fabrics. Fenestration is provided by 3/1- light, double-hung sash windows. Other examples illustrate how varied this style can be. The Bungalow at 235 South Lakeview Avenue also has a facade porch integrated under the main roof. The cross-gable roof has knee braces and louvers in the gable ends. The porch posts rest on brick piers. The gable wall surface is shingled and clapboard covers the remaining exterior. A gabled facade porch is also featured at 229 South Euclid, built c. 1921. Knee braces support the eaves and the gabled porch roof is supported by wood posts resting on brick piers. The exterior wall fabric of this house consists of wood shingles. The double hung sash windows have diamondpattern glazing in the upper sash. 229 S. Euclid Avenue 160 S. Euclid Avenue 261 N.
