It traces the Arts and Crafts philosophy from England’s Red House through Ruskin and Pugin’s critiques of industrial labor, then explains how American craft heritage and European influences blended into a distinctive style. The piece also links the bungalow’s popularity to affordability, practical single-level design, and natural harmony with the landscape.","Fall 2004  \nPreserving Forest Grove  \nNewsletter of the Historic Landmarks Board  \nOrigins of the Craftsman Bungalow  \nBy Elizabeth Muncher  \nThe story of the Craftsman Bungalow is actually two stories. The Craftsman Movement and the bungalow style house combined to provide a popular and uniquely American architectural style built between 1905 and 1930. It became the most frequently built suburban house from 1909 to 1913. The historical origins of the Craftsman bungalow start with the history of the Craftsman Movement.  \nThe Craftsman Movement is the term used to refer to the American version of the Arts and Crafts Movement that started in England in 1859. The official start of the Arts and Crafts movement is associated with the building of the Red House in England. The architects, William Morris and Philip Webb, were inspired by the philosophy of John Ruskin (1819- 1900) and Augustus Pugin (1812-1852) that reacted to the effects of the Industrial Revolution on society. The Industrial Revolution led to a separation of craftsman and laborer because manufacturing was divided into tasks. No one person saw the results of his labor and the traditional values of quality and craftsmanship were replaced by an emphasis on profit. Pugin and Ruskin saw that the Industrial Revolution was having the effect of changing the culture to one that devalued nature and craftsmanship. During  \nthe late 1840s Ruskin led a drive to a simpler, more natural life. The architecture and furnishings of Morris and Webb’s Red House exemplified the philosophies of Ruskin and Pugin and provided other architects and artisans a foundation for what became known as the Arts and Crafts Movement.  \nThe Arts and Crafts movement quickly spread through Europe. It’s principle of simplicity and a return to traditional craftsmanship led to a variety of styles as each country drew upon its own craft heritage. For example, in France and Belgium the style was called Art Noveau, in Germany it was known as Jungendstil, and in Austria it was Succession.  \nInterestingly, it was the lack of an American craft heritage that led to the first widely popular American craft style, the Craftsman style. Following American independence the country did not develop its own craft or architectural styles. The furniture, decorative, and architectural styles adopted by Americans tended to originate in European countries. The only American craft style was Shaker, which was established prior to American independence. Therefore, when the Arts and Crafts Movement took hold in America,  \nPage 2 Fall 2004  \ndesigns blended features from a variety of European countries with the Shaker style resulting in a unique American craft style.  \nThe Arts and Crafts Movement in America took hold with the establishment of several companies dedicated to the production of furniture, homes, and pottery that adhered to the philosophies of simplicity, honesty, and usefulness. Most noteworthy of these manufacturers was Gustav [Stickley & Co. in](Stickley & Co. in) 1898 along with Charles Rohlf’s furniture company and Henry Chapman’s Morovian pottery company.  \nOf all the suppliers of designs of the period it is perhaps Gustav Stickley who made the most lasting impression. His Craftsman magazine, published from 1901 to 1916, became the leading voice of designers and craftsman following his design philosophy and gave its name “Craftsman”to the American version of the Arts and Crafts movement.  \nThe popularity of a Craftsman style for a home did not rest on the artistic merits of the craft style alone. Cities were already full of Victorian homes with their “excessive” ornamentation stuffed with knick knacks and a variety of furniture styles. They were built of expensive materials, designed for families with servants, and tended to be owned by those with financial means. With the Industrial Revolution cities flourished and the traditional farming life was replaced with a suburban lifestyle. This period also saw the birth o","cbCaiuC81d7OZz2V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuC81d7OZz2V","pdf",162438,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Origins of the Craftsman Bungalow\n## Craftsman Movement and Arts and Crafts roots\n## Spread across Europe and American adaptation\n## Bungalow origins and design principles\n## Why Craftsman bungalows became popular","[{\"question\":\"How did the Craftsman bungalow combine two influences, and what were they?\",\"answer\":\"The Craftsman bungalow story is described as two merged narratives: the Craftsman Movement and the bungalow style house.
