Home of the Day: 1908 Craftsman compound in Highland Park gets a new look

Dating to more than a century ago amid the Arts and Crafts movement, this two-house compound on a double lot in Highland Park harks back to an earlier era. On the main house, a side-gabled roofline, wood sash double-hung windows and a broad front porch set off by tapered columns are characteristic of the early Craftsman bungalow style. Reimagined interiors play neutral tones off period iron hardwood and rich oak wood floors.
