Craftsman Style Homes

On Mother's Day my daughter took me on a home tour in a nearby neighborhood that has many Craftsman style homes.  I would like to share some pictures with you that I took that day, not of homes we toured, but homes that caught my eye.  I particularly like the really colorful ones.  Do you know what typifies a Craftsman home?

Wikipedia says a Craftsman Home is typically a house that has these:

Common architectural design features

The Hyland Hotel, designed by Joseph Henry Wood in 1916, located in Monticello,Utah.

• Low-pitched roof lines, gabled or hipped roof
• Deeply overhanging eaves,
• Exposed rafters or decorative brackets under eaves
• Front porch beneath extension of main roof
• Tapered, square columns supporting roof
• 4-over-1 or 6-over-1 double-hung windows
• Frank Lloyd Wright design motifs
• Hand-crafted stone or woodwork
• Mixed materials throughout structure

So, which house is your favorite?  If you want to see these homes and other Craftsman Style homes come to Fort Worth and drive through the Fairmount neighborhood or Mistletoe Heights.  They both have numerous examples.  The house plans for these homes were published in a magazine and included more than 200 plans.  The houses could be built from kits of material shipped to your building site.
