What is a Craftsman Style House?
Answer:
Centered around the concept of craftsmanship, Craftsman Style Homes were
a revolutionary challenge to the late Victorian style homes. The Craftsman Style House offered the working class a chance to not only purchase their own home, it offered an outlet to celebrate and exhibit their craftsmanship and skill by incorporating it into the details of their home.

Some common features of most Craftsman Style Houses include squared off porch supports, which often reached all the way to the ground and sometimes slanted inward. The gabled roofs have a low pitch with exposed, overhanging eaves and internally exposed roof rafters. The rafters are often supported by decorative beams. Craftsman Style Houses can be found in both expansive styles and bungalow styles. Although the basic structures and styles are similar, each Craftsman home has its own unique additions, reflecting the flair and tastes of the original owner/builder.
