Another 20th century development spawned by
the Arts and Crafts movement was the Craftsman style championed
by Gustav Stickley. Using wood shingles, brick, stucco and
fieldstone in rudimentary forms, Craftsman homes rely heavily
on wall textures and feature simple, hand-crafted trimmings.
These preliminary attributes are often fused with other design
elements adapted from California, the New York Adirondacks,
and Chicago. The term "bungalow has been used in many
ways over the past century, but generally it refers to scale,
not style. Bungalows were adapted from India via California,
and usually present modest single-story homes designed for
urban setting and small lots. The simplicity of the Craftsman
style - and modest scale of the bungalow can be nearly any
style, but typically is Craftsman. On Oak Circle a wonderful
collection of Craftsman Bungalow dwellings built between 1912
and 1925 can be found.
