ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY: This clipped (also referred to as jerkinhead) cross -gabled house is an excellent example of the early 20t" century bungalow type. It is a one-story home that displays subtle, simplistic elements of the craftsman style including its low pitched roof; historically multi - pane -over -one double -hung, grouped windows; an elevated front porch (enclosed); and natural colored stucco cladding. As a point of general clarification, a bungalow and a Craftsman are not one in the same. A Craftsman is a particular style of bungalow while the bungalow itself is a form. Craftsman homes were first popularized in California and moved east and were part of the Arts and Crafts movement. "The first bungalows in the United States, as we might recognize them, appeared after the Philadelphia Centennial celebrations of 1876. More Americans became interested in applying new principles to architecture, striving to move away from European precedents."' The faux half-timbering and the small, low -roof addition on the rear of the home are not original but the home retains all seven aspects of integrity including: location, setting, materials, design, workmanship, association, and feeling.
