Until the publication of this book, the totality of Gustav Stickley’s achievement was largely undocumented. It remained for Mary Ann Smith, in this notable study, to illuminate the broader scope of his accomplishments, particularly in the field of architecture. With insight and enthusiasm, Ms. Smith chronicles the formation of Stickley’s design philosophy, the history of The Craftsmen, and the major events in the rise and fall of the Craftsman empire. The study focuses on Craftsman houses, which represented both a logical outgrowth of Stickley’s furniture designs and the summation of his ideals. Included here are illustrations, descriptions and floor plans for many choice examples of Craftsman houses across America.
