Dallas.
CRAFTSMAN
The Craftsman-style home was popular during roughly the same period as the
Prairie style. This style has low-pitched, gabled roofs with wide, unenclosed
roof overhangs, in which beams and roof rafters are left exposed. Decorative
brackets are common. Craftsman homes commonly feature full-or partial-width
porches with roofs supported by square columns. The columns or column bases
commonly continue to ground level without a break at the level of the porch
floor.

Craftsman-style houses:
Vickery Place, Junius Heights, Lakewood Heights, Mount Auburn
Swiss Avenue Historic District, Winnetka Heights

PRAIRIE
A typical Prairie has large overhanging eaves and a low-pitched, hipped roof,
which create a distinctive horizontal quality reminiscent of the midwest United
States where this style was born. The overhanging eaves supported by stout,
squared columns create spacious porches, a common characteristic of the Prairie
style.

Prairie style houses:
Winnetka Heights, Peak's Suburban, Swiss
Avenue, Munger Place

TUDOR REVIVAL
Tudor Revival style homes are generally distinguished by an asymmetrical front
facade incorporating at least one very steep, front-facing gable. Decorative
half-timbering, the most easily recognizable feature of the Tudor Revival
style, is actually only found on about fifty percent of Tudor Revival homes.
The facade generally has a front door accentuated by a flattened, pointed
arch, sometimes referred to as a Tudor arch. Also characteristic of Tudor
Revival style homes are tall, narrow, multi-paned windows and a massive chimney.
