2511 Colorado St.
Arts and Crafts Bungalow

The Arts and Crafts Movement in the U.S., promoted by Gustav Stickley and others, rejected most historical styles and emphasized the simpler life. This version of the Craftsman bungalow is characterized primarily by the roof which covers the entire second floor and from which a shed dormer gives access to a second-story porch. The base of the house is brick, with white stuccoed walls and columns, contrasted by the dark painted wood of door and window surrounds. The muscular tapered columns at each corner are planted firmly on the ground and sprout large wooden brackets to support the roof.
