At the end of the nineteenth century, there was a turn away from the highly elaborate styles of the late Victorian period. Machine-made and mass-produced ornamentation drew particular criticism, and a return to a simpler, hand-crafted aesthetic developed. In architecture, the movement found expression in several types of houses that were built in great numbers in all parts of the nation. The low-slung Bungalow form came into wide use after 1900 and was enormously popular.
The bungalow is the quintessential form for this style of home and this is a fabulous example. Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
Craftsman is one of 25 styles and types described and illustrated with hundreds of photos in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
