Craftsman Shingle Style Estate

Following the Victorian Era, Craftsman architecture describes a comfortable, fashionable dwelling defined by increasing simplicity in materials. Also known as the Arts & Crafts Style, Shingle Style or Stick Style, the Craftsman Style is appropriate for both large estates and cottage homes. Gable roofs, exposed rafters and wooden brackets, wooden columns with brick or stone bases, and exposed porch structures are hallmarks of this style.
