Hello all...I recently found a very cool picture of the house I grew up in on Vashon-Maury Island, Washington. It has since been remodeled into total submission, but it used to look like this:

This type of house somewhat common. It's bay window and porch are leftovers from victorian designs. It isn't craftsman. What makes this house different is that there isn't a full second story. Row houses all over the US look like this, except they have a full second story. I would imagine that since getting lumber to Vashon probably cost a fair bit of money, the builder probably thought to make the best use of both money and supplies and build it as you see. I believe that I've seen this style of house in one of my victorian designs book, and was described as a victorian farm house. Around here, Victorian style houses were built up to the depression.
