What is Craftsman and/or Bungalow Style?

The Craftsman Bungalow is an all American housing style. California architects Greene and Greene are often credited with inspiring people to build simple one-and-a-half story bungalows. Most feature a low-pitched roof, wide eaves with exposed roof rafters and a porch with square columns.

And Mission Style? What’s that?

Celebrating the architecture of Hispanic settlers, Spanish Mission or California Mission style houses usually have arched dormers and roof parapets. By the 1920s, architects were combining Mission styling with features from other movements including Prairie and Craftsman. When describing furniture, the terms Mission and Craftsman are used interchangeably.

Other prominent architects of the period include Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright and Bernard Maybeck.
