Frankly, I am surprised that this page is so carefully and adamantly set off from the Arts & Crafts movement overall. Certainly the major architects of the American movement were very honest that their style was primarily influenced by both the philosophy and architectural style of the British movement, and I've never heard a single architectural historian or curator even suggest that they were separate or significantly different. Certainly the American movement is an evolutionary aspect OF the Arts & Crafts movement overall, and the Craftsman home is one example of many of its popular architectural styles, but to suggest that it is unique and not a child of A & C overall is ridiculous.
Thus, and I hope this does not offend anyone, I am making slight changes - not to most of the page, just to the discussion of its relation to the British movement (which needed a bit of clarification anyway regarding the British movement's relation to Victorianism, which is resembled only on the surface).

I'm curious that there's no mention of Japanese influence. User:bigfun 8 June 2007
That's true. There should be, especially in terms of Greene & Greene and the west coast aspects of the Movement. Moehong 11:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
