Craftsmen On a Mission

The Brothers Who Invented the American Home

By: Karl Zinsmeister

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The story you are about to read began as a lunchtime lecture to the staff at one of the world’s great residential design firms. It grew into a lavishly illustrated, highly readable chronicle of the classic American style variously known as Craftsman, Mission, or Arts & Crafts. The visionaries behind the Craftsman movement generated a whole new sense of what a home should look and feel like. They created sanctuaries from the hurly-burly of urban life, democratized beauty, and ushered in the crucial elements of what we now consider desirable in domestic life. Meet the people, ideas, and social trends behind a beloved part of Americana.
