The Bungalow/Craftsman architectural style is an early 20th century American movement,inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and developed by Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena,California. The height of the movement is between 1900 and the mid 1920's. The style is characterized by the use of natural wood for exposed massive beams and rafters and exterior siding. Some of the most prominent features are:low pitched gabled roof with wide overhangs and projecting brackets;the emphasis on horizontal shapes informally arranged;the use of shingles as exterior finish;broad,gabled entry porches;no applied ornament;creek rock foundations and porch column bases. Many houses include Japanese or Swiss influences in their exterior detailing.

Ribbons of casement windows,accented with three lights in the top third,are used throughout the second story,while similar windows with two rows of muntins are featured on the first floor. A single column with sloping sides and clad in wood shingles supports the recessed front porch. A massive beam,with a slight segmental arch bottom,spans the entire front of the porch; a second smaller beam of the same configuration spans from the post to the front of the house. A cutout rail,anchored next to the steps by a tapered pier borders the north and west sides of the porch. The only alteration appears to be the metal screen door. The defining features that makes this building a Bungalow/Craftsman include the use of shingles as an exterior finish;a broad entry front porch supported by tapered posts;the window and surround detailing;and low pitched roof with wide eaves and exposed rafter ends that are richly detailed.

Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose. 2, The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible. 3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged. 4.

These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected. 5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity. 6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures. 7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken. S. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project. 9.
