craftsman bungalows

Low-pitched-roof homes

Craftsman bungalows are a style of American residential architecture that flourished in the early twentieth century, characterized by low-pitched roofs with wide eaves, exposed rafters and beams, tapered columns supporting covered porches, and an emphasis on handcrafted woodwork and natural materials.

The style emerged as a reaction against Victorian ornamentation, favoring simplicity and connection to the outdoors.

The neighborhood is full of restored craftsman bungalows from the 1920s.
