The Craftsman originated with the work of the Greene brothers in Pasadena, California, who combined elements of the English Arts and Crafts movement, with Japanese influences, and their strong personal interest in the technical arts to create intricately detailed wooden homes. As these forms were adopted and codified for a mass market, they were increasingly simplified, and also altered to incorporate elements and materials of other popular styles. The defining features include a low, wide mass, a large low-pitched gable roof with wide eaves supported by brackets, large open porches (a remnant of the “sleeping porch”) with large square or tapered square columns, 3/1 or 4/1double hung windows, and decorative glazing in the window or door units.
