Here you can see a typical Craftsman signature, large covered porches, widely overhanging roofs, and projecting roof beams. This picture is of a flower box (remember it was November) on one of the large porches. The Gamble boys were expected to sleep out there "to get the night air," a belief at the time in order to prevent sickness.
It's a belief still held by us, but having no Craftsman covered porch to go out to, we let the night air in.
