It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and <br /> Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of <br /> form,materials,and workmanship,eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new <br /> appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious <br /> porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style,Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped <br /> roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs;wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco;extensive use of <br /> stone or brick as a secondary material;horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines,headers,and battered porch supports;and broadly <br /> proportioned wood framed windows,often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. <br /> SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> The Coselman-Motley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1,as a beautifully <br /> detailed and highly intact bungalow with the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style.
