These characteristics encourage neighbors to walk and to sit out facing the pedestrian traffic, stopping to talk or catch-up on the neighborhood news. Other common characteristics of a Craftsman house are the use of local, natural materials (local stone and wood), grouped windows, exposed beams, detailed woodwork or ceramic tiles. The decorative elements tend to be labor intensive, but made of inexpensive materials. Simple, repeated patterns using wood, glass or tile, including things like stained glass are often used. Originally craftsman homes were good homes for someone who might be a first generation home owner in the U.S. and willing to put much work and pride into home care. Nowadays, some larger homes are created using this style. Periodically it becomes popular again. The homes tend to be sturdy and many older craftsman homes have held up well over time.
