Architectural Style Primer

By Tara-Nicholle Nelson | Published: 11/01/2007

Craftsman
  • Exterior or natural materials, like wood or stone
  • Assymetrical facade
  • Large porch with square pillars or columns holding up the corners
  • Ornamental braces
  • Stone chimney
  • One story
  • Relatively low-pitched (flat) roof
  • Interior Characteristics: Built-in china cabinets, nooks, desks, etc.
  • Breed-specific issues: Front porch or back steps with interior water damage or that are separating from main foundation. Because Craftsmans are so popular and inexpensive to build, new home developments in a faux/nouveau Craftsman style are springing up across the country. In some areas, these homes are being built so quickly and poorly that insiders have taken to describing them as "Crapsman."
