What’s in Arts & Crafts Homes Early Summer 2009 Issue?
A note from the Editor:
For years—decades, in fact—I operated as an independent publisher, because no one told me how crazy that was. Although we were non-profit without the benefits (artisans out there, you can relate!), everybody in our shop enjoyed doing custom-quality work, and remarkably, the bills got paid…for a long, long time.
Media and publishing are changing, rapidly and unpredictably.

Ultimate Arts & Crafts – inside a Colonial Revival!
This gambrel-roofed brick Georgian house in New Hampshire was built in 1901. Its classical massing and stately portico are clearly meant to impress.
Pilgrimage: Willamette Valley, Oregon
Brian Coleman takes us past rural vistas and vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley to see bungalows in Silverton and towns revived.

I was wondering if it’s possible to buy copies of past issues? If so, how much are they and I do I go about it?
Just bought your Summer 09 isssue and fell in love with the “depot” home built by Patricia and Bob Coe. We, too, love depots and trains {my grandfather worked for the Soo Line RR} and we are in the process of finding a plan for a home we hope to build next year. Could you please put us in contact with Patricia and Bob so we can learn more about their home. Thank you, David and Cathy
I would love to see more photos of the cover home in the Summer 2009 issue. Is that possible? Thank you.
C. Allen – we’d be happy to share more photos of our house with you! How do we exchange contact information?
Patricia – I had an interesting conversation via phone this evening with Michael, from N. Dakota. He drove by our house during a trip east to visit family in the area. On his way back to N. Dakota, he picked up an issue of Arts and Crafts Homes in a gas station in Illinois! He recognized the house, and contacted us to learn more about the siding.
For those of you who are interested, to side our house, we used white cedar shakes dipped in Benjamin Moore deck and siding stain – Redwood (099 20).
Enjoy the renovations!
In the article, “Just Right Bungalow”, I noticed the mantel. I have one also. Mine is mahogany with leather inserts, but I have also seen it in oak with mirror inserts. I have attributed it to The Phoenix Furniture Co. in Grand Rapids, MI and dated to approximately 1907. I also have a settle from the Phoenix Furniture Co.
C. Allen (and others) – here’s my email address for any questions you may have regarding our house (cover – early summer issue 2009): roger.bourassa@verizon.net
May I request a copy of your Early Summer magazine issue?
Thanks
