| CRAFTSMAN |
Craftsman--Trendy from 1905 to the mid-1920s, the Pasadena, Calif., born Craftsman home customarily resembles a one-story, bungalow style created by two brothers, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene. Played up in architectural and home decorating magazines of the time, the style quickly spread around the country. Some homeowners even purchased ready-made packages of materials that could be assembled by local builders. Identify the style by its low-pitched gabled roof, overhanging eaves, exposed roof rafters, and full- or partial-width porches framed by pedestal-like, tapered columns. look. |
