American Craftsman Style

American craftsman style is an architectural design that came about in the late 19th century and remained very popular until the 1930's. Making a strong comeback and seeing a definite spike of interest, many homes built in this style are now being renovated to bring back this highly desirable architectural design. These bungalows are known for their hand-crafted stone and woodwork, as well as its use of mixed materials to contribute to the overall effect of this architectural style.
