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 />SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: <br />The Rosenberg House is substantially intact and was one of the original farmhouses in this area. The Rosenmeyer House <br />is designed in the Craftsman Bungalow style of architecture, and has been categorized as "contributive" because it "is a <br />good example of period architecture" in the Floral Park neighborhood, <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />+ California Reaister Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance Series # 7, <br />"How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4, 2001.) <br />5: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or <br />represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />• California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003) <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />25D -63 <br />
