CRAFTSMAN
When you walk the tree-lined streets of Seward’s older neighborhoods, you will recognize homes of this style built from 1900 to 1930. The architecture of these homes is clean, simple, and understandable. The homes have detailed design concepts with affordable elements. The Craftsman architecture was a change in direction from the expensive and complex details of the previously popular Victorian home. Recently, the Craftsman style home has become very popular with new homeowners, because they appreciate the nostalgic feel with a modern floor plan. Craftsman style homes have strong design principles and deep American roots. When Craftsman style was developed, garages were not an important design element of the home. Possible garage locations are indicated in the Garage Location Diagrams for each of the various lot sizes.
