The name “Craftsman” comes from the title of a popular magazine published by a popular furniture designer, Gustav Stickley. The Craftsman was published between 1901 and 1916. True arts and crafts followers believe that a house is only a true craftsman, if it followed the blue prints published and sold by The Craftsman precisely.
Soon the word “Craftsman” came to mean any house that expressed Arts and Crafts ideals, most especially the simple, economical, and extremely popular Bungalow.
