The Craftsman is a classic architectural home style in America. The look was first welcomed in the 20th century as an artistic contrast to the industrial revolution, changing how handmade furniture and architecture were perceived. Later on, Gustav Stickley, a respected furniture maker, took the Craftsman style and expanded it to homes, which then became a staple of upstate New York and southern California.
Craftsman homes are easy to identify. The most common features include a covered front porch, tapered columns, overhanging roof eaves and multi-pane windows.??Exterior painting of neutral earth tones typically dominate the body color of a Craftsman home.
