- Summary:
- These houses are masterpieces of domestic Arts and Crafts architecture and among the best preserved examples. Macaulay presents Hill House as a unified aesthetic conception -- combining Arts and Crafts honesty with Art Nouveau decoration and distinctly Scottish elements. The Homestead is described by Hitchmough as one of Voysey's finest achievements: a private house but also one built for entertaining. Bosley shows the Gamble House to be the enoblement of the California bungalow image, yet a building of striking intimacy. These commissions share similarities -- they were each undertaken for powerful local figures -- but also possess unique characteristics, particularly linked with setting; by looking at them together, one can decipher common Arts and Crafts predilections and examine the different responses of the architects to individual circumstances.
