1012. 920 W. Walnut - Craftsman

c. 1915 The blunt edges of the roof, called jerkinheads, are unique in this neighborhood. Craftsman features include divided light windows, wood entry door with divided lights and sidelights, and the brick porch with square columns and piers. The Craftsman style was popular at the same time as the American Foursquare, 1910-1930, but rather different in aesthetics and effect. Many Craftsman houses are one-and-a-half story cottages that attempt to convey coziness and quaintness. They are oftentimes asymmetrical with exposed carpentry of some type and a variety of roofing materials.
