Fireplace. A fireplace was the symbol of family in the Arts and Crafts movement, so most homes feature a dominant fireplace in the living room and a large exterior chimney.
Porches. Most homes in the Craftsman style have porches with thick square or round columns and stone porch supports.
Low-pitched roofs. The homes typically have a low roof with wide eaves and triangular brackets.
