	Woodfield Road Bungalows, 20111, 20115, 20110 Woodfield Road, Gaithersburg. The three dwellings, built about 1930, are simple structures, constructed of frame or rusticated concrete block, exhibit the typical bungalow features of long, sloping roofs, dormers, and integral porches. This type of house construction became increasingly popular around the county as industrialization and urbanization spread from the large cities. Improvements of major roads, less farm demands (which required significant land use), and ease of bungalow construction were large contributors to the popularity of these houses.
