Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Craftsman Bungalow <br />Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by <br />The Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building <br />traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. <br />Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of <br />the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out <br />to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, <br />Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep <br />overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary <br />material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned <br />wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s <br />(McAlester, 453-463). <br />E'T;T_l " • . rcu'PT-- • <br />The Fipps-Fink House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style.
