It drew from the wood building traditions of <br />Japan and Switzerland as well as the.. medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crahs 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 embracethelandscape 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 (McAlester, 453-463). <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Guillen House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 for its exemplification of <br />the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style in the Flower.Park neighborhood.
