House Style: Craftsman

Craftsman Home Style Photo
The California native Craftsman style was created by two brothers, Charles and Henry Greene, and is very easy to identify. The exterior typically has wood, stone, or stucco siding, low-pitched roof, exposed roof rafters, porch with thick square or round columns that often have stone support. The floor plans are usually open with few hallways, there is a breakfast nook in the kitchen, near a window, has beamed ceilings, has dark wood wainscoting and moldings and has built-in cabinets, shelves, and seating. It has an exterior chimney made with stone and numerous windows with stained or leaded glass. This style is native to US and was very popular from the last years of the 19th century through the early years of the 20th century. As a design movement, its popularity remained strong until the 1930s, although in the decorative arts it continues to experience numerous revivals until the present day. The Gamble House in Pasadena, CA is perhaps among the most famous examples of the Craftsman style.
