Arts and Crafts buildings

Arts and Crafts buildings, also known as Craftsman-style architecture, emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a reaction to industrialization. They emphasize handcrafted craftsmanship, natural materials, and simple, honest design. These buildings often feature low-pitched roofs, wide porches, exposed beams, and attention to detail that highlights quality and tradition. The style promotes harmony with the surroundings and celebrates artisanal work, creating warm, inviting homes and structures that stress practicality and aesthetic integrity over ornate decoration.
