In the early 20th century, a wave of change swept through Massachusetts, as architects sought to create a new architectural style that would capture the essence of their clients' increasingly casual lifestyles. Drawing inspiration from the Arts and Crafts Movement in England, they crafted a delightful design that perfectly suited the rapidly expanding suburbs and vacation houses in the state. While the style was charming and fitting for the times, it often went unnoticed due to its difficulty in describing. Now, in a groundbreaking book titled "The Arts and Crafts Houses of Massachusetts," these hidden gems are brought to the forefront, receiving the attention they truly deserve. Compiled with meticulous research and accompanied by an abundance of vibrant color photos, this is the sole work dedicated to exploring the Arts and Crafts domestic architecture in the state.

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the architectural features, materials, and craftsmanship that defined this style, shedding light on its historical significance and its enduring appeal. Through its detailed narratives and captivating images, "The Arts and Crafts Houses of Massachusetts" invites readers to discover the beauty and charm of these forgotten architectural treasures, providing a valuable contribution to the understanding and appreciation of 20th-century design.
