About the style
Craftsman houses show how they are built. Rafter tails run out under low-pitched, wide-eaved roofs, braces hold up the gables, and porches sit on tapered piers of brick or stone. The Arts and Crafts movement behind the style prized honest materials and handwork, and the houses are usually one or one-and-a-half stories, with the porch as the main feature.
The American Foursquare, a boxy two-story house with a hip roof and a central dormer, is grouped here: it was built in the same years and usually with Craftsman or plain Colonial Revival details.
