Craftsmanship
• Craftsmanship was found mainly in the western states like California. It was generally a bungalow house, with a low, overhanging roof to provide shade. The title of craftsmanship was derived from the idea that the house should be natural, and gardens were an integral part of this.

Beaux-Arts Style Architecture1885-1920
-After the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, this style of architecture took off in America. The exposition is also accredited with sparking the City Beautiful movement-Also referred to as Classical Revival, Academic Classicism, Neoclassicism, and Renaissance Revival-Beaux-Arts represents a mixture of styles, borrowing from Greek and Roman models as well as Renaissance forms. This architectural style emphasizes grandness, even in traditional detailing and focuses on symmetry-Bernard Maybeck, Frank Furness, Charles McKim, and Henry Hobson Richardson were architects who produced Beaux-Arts style designs. Many of these architects, as well as Louis Sullivan, studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris
