Historical Background

Dating from 1900 to 1930, the Classical Craftsman Style draws its inspiration from the Arts and Crafts, Bungalow, and Prairie movements. It counters the opulence of the Victorian era, promoting the prominence of handcrafted elements over the mass-produced, machine-made alternatives.
