Here's a Craftsman feature that the Greene brothers liked a lot--exposed and extended roof rafters and purlins. In a Craftsman home the emphasis was on "craftsmanship." Everything was done with great care and accuracy. This roof corner is a good example of the Craftsman principles. Did you notice the rain gutter?
In this composition I like the three diagonal colors flanked by black and white.
I'm curious to know where these architects found construction crews

off their 2x4's, that must have seemed so pointless until the entire
house was finished. Ah, California really is the promised land! Mf
