Arts and Crafts Design

Of all the architectural styles on PDXClassicHomes, the Arts and Crafts style was by far the most prolific.  While most styles had relatively short stints as the style du jour, the Arts and Crafts reign spanned the entire first half of the twentieth century.  Often mistaken for Craftsman architecture, the Arts and Crafts style does share many Craftsman features, but tend to not feel quite as square and boxy.  Early Arts and Crafts homes had Craftsman-like extended eaves, though they are only slightly extended.  Later Arts and Crafts traded extended eaves for a new stylistic feature, the flush gable.  However, the most easily recognizable difference between the Arts and Crafts and Craftsman style is the former’s Tudor-like steeply pitched roofs.  In fact, the Arts and Crafts style shares many common elements with Tudors. 

Stylistic elements:

• Generally asymmetrical
• Steeply pitched roofs with multiple steeply pitched gables or hipped roofs with gabled dormers
• Prominent brick chimneys
• Porches, often covered by roof
