Craftsman

Architectural features of a craftsman-style house are influenced by the arts and crafts movement of the early 20th century. Natural materials, innovative design, and a clear display of handiwork are highlighted, and horizontal lines are emphasized. The hallmarks of a Craftsman home include its low-sloped gable (triangular) roof, overhanging eaves, exposed rafters and beams, massive, tapered columns, patterned window panes, and a front porch with a roof over it.
