Tudor-Style Houses
The name of this style suggests a close connection to the architectural characteristics of the early 16th-century Tudor dynasty in England. However, the Tudor houses seen today are modern reinventions loosely based on a variety of late Medieval English prototypes.
Common features include a steeply pitched roof, prominent cross gables, decorative half-timbering and tall, narrow windows with small windowpanes.
Craftsman Houses
Also known as the Arts and Crafts style, the Craftsman bungalow was popular between 1905 and the 1930s—and is making a comeback today. A distinguishing feature of the style is the large amount of interior woodwork, such as built-in shelving and seating. As for the exterior, Craftsman-style homes often have low-pitched roofs with wide eave overhangs, exposed roof rafters, decorative beams or braces under gables and porches framed by tapered square columns.
Craftsman bungalows often have unfinished but usable space in the attic, making it a great spot to renovate.
