It drew from the wood building traditions of <br />Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed <br />honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A <br />new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of <br />capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and <br />hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive <br />use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and <br />broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early <br />1920s. <br />cuo\historie\templates\nush N t921 (Drips House) <br />10/17/Ot <br />25A-27 <br />
