Craftsman style
strived for an
informal look

Dear Editor:

Regarding your article,
“*Renovating 1913 home a history
lesson’’ in your March 30 issue:

I was most interested and pleas-
ed to see your article about one of
the many Craftsman houses in the
North Lonsdale area. The descrip-
tion of Crafisman was not, how-
ever, quite correct.

Its roots are found in the
English Arts and Crafts movement
of the late 19th century which de-
liberately turned its back on
mechanized design and sought a
revival of craftsmanship.

The movement led to the Prairie
style under Frank Lloyd Wright in
Chicago, who designed many
houses in the style between 1900

and 1913, and the Craftsman style
(1905-30) of Charles and Henry
Greene in southern California and
Gustav Stickley, the publisher of
the “Craftsman.”

In British Columbia, the most
influential Craftsman architect
was Samuel Maclure of New
Westminster, Victoria and Van-
couver.

In general, the Craftsman house
strived for an informal, hand-
crafted look through the use of
natural materials and asym-
metrical elevations, covered with
wood shingles and decorative
half-timbering.
