    About this ebook

    From the late nineteenth century to the early 1920s, the Arts and Crafts Movement spread with great popularity across America. With origins in Britain, the Craftsman style was a reaction against the excesses of the Victorian era. Craftsman bungalows were distinguished by their charming simplicity, cozy style, and storybook appeal. The name was derived from a popular magazine called The Craftsman, published by renowned furniture designer Gustav Stickley who sold plans for these homes designed for "beauty, convenience, and comfort."
    This fascinating reprint of a rare architectural catalog is filled with photos of actual completed bungalows from the era, built prior to 1919. A mix of Spanish tile, stucco exteriors, wraparound porches, overhanging gables, handcrafted stone, and woodwork added up to many a homeowner's dream. Geared to the climate of the northern and eastern regions, each bungalow is an authentic Craftsman design and features a photo, description, floor plan, and original costs. A fascinating showcase of primary American architecture, Craftsman Bungalows is an indispensable resource for architects, builders, historians, and illustrators.

      THE CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW CO.

      YOHO & MERRITT, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

      Bungalows are here to stay. Their attractiveness and utility assure it.

      368—A veritable mansion and all on one floor, or practically so. The two rooms provided in the rear gable upstairs are small, but amply large enough for the purpose intended. Every room in the house is large and yet not one inch is wasted. Note the convenient arrangement of all rooms—the amount of cupboard space provided in kitchen and pantry. The reception hall is the connecting link between the living room and the balance of the house and serves as an appropriate carriage entrance. The attractive porch is well sheltered and makes a splendid lounge in warm weather. The exterior of the house is sand-finished cement stucco, while the roof is of asphalt shingles curved down at eaves and cornice. The large fluted columns are of wood, while the front steps are paving brick.

      Study your surroundings; they are important.

      468 A—This is one of the best examples of the true Mission style. It has the typical plan of a terrace or patio enclosed by three sides of the building. The roof of this house is made of Spanish tile, the exterior is the popular stucco finish over hollow tile. The construction is about as cheap as frame in many parts of the country, and in the long run costs less, if the job is done right. The principal rooms are finished with cove ceilings and hardwood floors. The living room fireplace is very large and of beautiful design. The plans provide for large, well-arranged rooms, large closets and all modern conveniences, including a built-in pullman diner and ironing board in kitchen. The glassed in Loggia is so arranged that it can be used as a summer dining room overlooking the patio with its flowers and tumbling fountain.

      Our plans are revelations in the utilization of space.

      619—An exterior which is practically a duplicate of that shown on page seven and a plan arrangement that is very similar but on a slightly larger scale. Two rooms—namely, den and child’s room—are provided in this plan which are not to be found in plan number 467, and by the provision of a few more windows the child’s room could very easily be used as a sleeping porch if so desired. A glance at the living room interior shown on this page will give one an idea of the splendid opportunity offered in the fine large rooms. The difference of six feet in width between this home and its prototype has certainly been used to advantage as can be readily seen in a comparison of bedrooms. The attic plan calls for a division of the space into two bedrooms, sleeping porch and generous closets.

      Our plans are practical.

      467—This is a style of bungalow that is becoming very popular in the Western states. The lines of the house are very graceful and the whole effect is very attractive. The design calls for brick veneer to the height of the watertable with sawed shakes above. The brick-faced porch and chimney give the building a substantial air of plenty, borne out by the very liberal lines of the house. The living and dining rooms are connected by a wide opening, which may, if desired, convert them into practically one room. There are two bed rooms with small halls, each with a door leading to either the kitchen or bath room. Perhaps the most attractive feature of this design is the large breakfast room, which opens from the pantry and dining room and so arranged that it has windows on three sides.

      The fireplace is the center of the home—build it right.

      457—It is hard to keep from getting enthusiastic about as pretty a bungalow as this, especially after an inspection of the house itself. Solid and sensible just describe it. Where large rooms and closet space are needed, it would be hard to find a nicer plan than this. The entrance is into a vestibule which opens into a reception hall with living and dining rooms on opposite sides. The porch floor is cement on dirt filling. The house is very well planned with all the rooms independent of each other, yet easy of access. The dining room has an exceptionally fine buffet. The living room is large and has a large open fireplace.
