English Arts & Crafts Style in Forest Park Heights
The arts & crafts movement was an international reaction to the overly ornate and mass-produced Victorian era styles. The American architectural response. The British had their own response--which made it across The Pond in the early 20th century. This tour will focus on examples in the Forest Park Heights Historic District.
