Taking a horizontal approach
Craftsman’s strong lines take cues from Midwest landscape
Although the style is often associated with the Midwest, where the strong horizontal lines were meant to evoke the landscape, this Prairie School-inspired Craftsman house is in L.A.’s Arlington Heights area. The symmetrical hip roof, wide front porch and skillfully wrought interiors are in keeping with the home’s century-plus old vintage.
