Identifying features include the front-facing gable roof;ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end;avoidance of flat wall surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal;and classical columns or pilasters. Multi-storied residential and commercial examples often incorporated bay windows,sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late Medieval models,with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well-developed examples can be found in California and in the southern states (McAlester,263-268). Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement,American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form,materials,and workmanship,eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style,Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs;wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco;extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material;horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines,headers,and battered porch supports;and broadly proportioned wood framed windows,often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. The most universal of all American domestic building styles,the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal,or Dutch Colonial prototypes,Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical,or at least highly regular and balanced,in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled,hipped,or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches,one or two stories in height,are often included,mostly as central focal points,and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns,pilasters,and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments;sidelights,transoms,and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash,with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location,Colonial Revival buildings have wood,brick,or stucco exteriors(McAlester,320-326). cm\historicltemplates\Lacy N 825 ES(Duggan House) 6/20/02
