The home has a simple rectangular form and sits on a rectangular lot. The house features horizontal clapboard exterior surfacing in alternating narrow rows followed by a single wide course. The roof system has multiple elaborations including exposed rafter tails, protruding perlin beams, wide unenclosed eaves and vertical attic roof vents at the gable ends. The house is painted light green with white painted trim and dark green painted windows. The house has a linear rectangular form and plan and is elevated on a raised concrete foundation. An unattached rear garage faces the alley at the rear of the lot. This home is made of wood frame construction and is an excellent example of a bungalow type example of the Craftsman style. The house features the primary character defining features indicative of a Craftsman style home, such as the low pitched gabled roof, which features wide unenclosed eave overhangs and exposed roof rafters. Oversized stucco surfaced square columns support the gabled partial width front porch and continue to ground level. This Craftsman style, also sometimes referred to as the American Arts and Crafts style, became popular in the early 1900's from about 1905-1930, especially in California. While the style shared an appreciation of hand craftsmanship and organic detailing with its European counterpart, it is usually differentiated from the English Arts and Crafts style (which highly influenced the Craftsman style) by its extensive use of wood, low pitched rooflines and sometimes Asian inspiration. The Craftsman style grew to become an independent western movement in American architecture, and quickly spread nationwide by way of magazines and plan pattern books. The 19th century British Arts & Crafts Movement is reflected in the earliest Craftsman style houses in San Diego, but dropped out of the designs by the end of World War I. This Craftsman bungalow type and style house utilized the Craftsman architectural style on a simple working class sized home. This house is an excellent example of this later period and style. Many important architects and designers of the style, like Pasadena architects Greene and Greene, and designer and furniture maker Gustav Stickley, showed their appreciation of natural materials like wood, tile, brick and stone while utilizing human craftsmanship to create designs in direct opposition to the mass production and machine made designs of the recent Industrial Revolution. Craftsman style homes often used natural earth-tone colors. Wooden details were very important in the creation of Craftsman homes which usually included built in wooden furniture, doors and stairs in the same highly detailed natural wood aesthetic. East (Front) Elevation – The main front façade faces Dale Street to the east and is dominated by the double front facing gables with partial width porch to the south (left) supported by square oversized stucco columns topped with original stacked wood support beams. The rectangular stucco chimney is visible on the south (left) side of the home. Decorative vertical slat attic vents are seen at the gable ends just below the low pitched composition roof. Horizontal wood exterior clapboard surfacing alternates between narrow single rows and single wide clapboard courses. Projecting decorative perlins extend out beyond the verge boards on the gable ends. Below the roofline, decorative details include open eaves and decorative exposed rafter tails. The raised front porch is open and supported by the two square porch column supports with no railing or balustrade. From left to right, on the front porch, sits an original single pane fixed Chicago or "piano key style" window with seven lights along the top. To the right, on the front façade, is the original rectangular wood front door with six light beveled glazing. 5 State of California The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 5 of 33 *Resource Name or #: The L.N. and Elizabeth Horton / Edward F.
