Craftsman Architectural Style

The Urban + Farm Design Guidelines identify three architectural styles for the neighborhood One and Two Residential Character Areas: (1) Craftsman, (2) High Country Farmhouse, and (3) Montana Contemporary. The Craftsman style was a dominant style in the early 20th century, especially for smaller homes. Originating in Southern California, the Craftsman style spread throughout the country in pattern books and magazines used by builders. The style celebrates the expression of structural elements with wide over- hanging eaves, bracket detailing, and substantial columns.
