Viewed from any direction a passing glace is invariably turned to a look of prolonged admiration.

In developing this design our architects have exercised utmost care to combine the fascinating features of a true California bungalow with a convenient, comfortable interior properly constructed for any locality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-484\" style=\"width: 297px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000-a.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-484 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000-a.jpg?resize=297%2C500&ssl=1\" alt=\"California Bungalow Harris Home No. L-1000\" width=\"297\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000-a.jpg?resize=297%2C500&ssl=1 297w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000-a.jpg?w=430&ssl=1 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Bungalow Harris Home No. L-1000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_476\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-476\" style=\"width: 243px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-476 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?resize=243%2C500&ssl=1\" alt=\"California Bungalow Harris Home No. L-1000\" width=\"243\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?resize=243%2C500&ssl=1 243w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?resize=768%2C1581&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?resize=498%2C1024&ssl=1 498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/harris_home-L-1000.jpg?w=1016&ssl=1 1016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-476\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Bungalow Harris Home No. L-1000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>More Information<\/h3>\n<p>This blog has more information about Harris Homes, Harris Brothers Kit Houses and photos of some that were completed in Staunton, Virginia.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"title\" href=\"http:\/\/www.searshomes.org\/index.php\/2013\/05\/03\/staunton-virginia-more-amazing-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\">Staunton, Virginia: More Amazing Finds<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"postTitle\"><a title=\"Permalink to Harris Brothers and Their Homely Houses\" href=\"http:\/\/wardwayhomes.com\/blog\/2011\/12\/harris-brothers-and-their-homely-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris Brothers and Their Homely Houses<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harris Homes were kit houses available after WWI.\u00a0 You could order your entire house, even the furnishings and have it delivered by train.
