Like the Bungalow, the Craftsman home plan structure was tied to the Craftsman movement of the early 20th century, which stressed comfort and utility through the use of natural materials and a lack of pretention. Exposed rafter ends, overhanging eaves, clipped gables, and large porch columns replaced the more delicate and intricate detailing of the Victorian period. In addition to these characteristics, windows consisted of divided lights in the upper sash and single light in the lower sash. Some Craftsman homes display a small amount of half-timbering (not to be mistaken for the Tudor Revival style which has significant amounts of half-timbering).
