An indispensable resource for architects, historians, and illustrators.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the late nineteenth century to the early 1920s, the Arts and Crafts Movement spread with great popularity across America. With origins in Britain, the Craftsman style was a reaction against the excesses of the Victorian era. Craftsman bungalows were distinguished by their charming simplicity, cozy style, and storybook appeal. The name was derived from a popular magazine called <i>The</i> <i>Craftsman, </i> published by renowned furniture designer Gustav Stickley who sold plans for these homes designed for beauty, convenience, and comfort. <br>This fascinating reprint of a rare architectural catalog is filled with photos of actual completed bungalows from the era, built prior to 1919. A mix of Spanish tile, stucco exteriors, wraparound porches, overhanging gables, handcrafted stone, and woodwork added up to many a homeowner's dream. Geared to the climate of the northern and eastern regions, each bungalow is an authentic Craftsman design and features a photo, description, floor plan, and original costs. A fascinating showcase of primary American architecture, <i>Craftsman Bungalows</i> is an indispensable resource for architects, builders, historians, and illustrators.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Architect Edward L. Merrit practiced in the Seattle area from 1909 until 1938. Judd Yoho was the owner of the Craftsman Bungalow Company and publisher of <i>Bungalow Magazine.</i>
