Architecture represents a unique 
combination of art and practicality. 
Any project strives for both 
functionality and beauty, be it a 
temple or a theater, a stable or a 
stadium, a single-family home or an 
entire urban block. The purpose in 
many ways determines the form, but 
architectural styles also reflect the 
culture in which they were created. If 
we looked at architecture across 
Oregon, we would be able to identify 
many different styles, influences, and 
probably also get a very good idea 
about the people who live(d) here and 
their way of life. It is certain that any 
of the houses for sale in Lebanon 
Oregon are, in one way or another, a 
testimony to its time, and has an 
interesting story to tell. The 
best real estate agencies in Leban
on
 are well acquainted with them.
Some of the historical styles are 
connected to different European designs 
(British, Dutch, Italian), and these include 
Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor 
Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Second 
Empire to name a few.
One of the more distinctly American 
Historic styles is Craftsman architecture. It has its roots in the Arts and Crafts movement, 
originating in the United Kingdom in the 
1860s. From there it traveled to the 
and United States and was prominent from the 1890s until the 1930s. The name comes 
from Craftsman magazine, first published 
contempo in 1901 by furniture maker Gustav Stickley. The use of local, natural 
materials and finishes (such as stone and 
rary especially wood), exposed structural elements, handcrafted workmanship, 
earthy colors, and tapered columns are all 
important features of this style.  It’s easy 
homes to fall in love with the rustic, homey vibes that houses in this style have, and  
  Brokers in Lebanon, OR can surely help 
you find one that is right for you. 
A specific style, a predecessor to 
Craftsman, with which it shares some 
similarities, would be the Shingle style of 
architecture. Although houses that fall in 
the category of Shingle can drastically 
vary in shape, their most common 
denominator is the finish – wood shingles 
that cover not just the roof, but entire 
buildings. The exterior of these homes is 
very often asymmetrical, with irregular 
roofs, and interlocking interior and 
exterior spaces achieved by the use of 
multiple porches. In Oregon, many of the 
representatives of this style can be found 
in coastal towns of Gearhart and Seaside, 
as well as certain parts of Portland.
 
As fashions change over time, impacting 
the appearance of commercial and 
residential properties,  so does the 
building industry. The use of new 
technologies and new materials impacts 
not only the aesthetic but also the 
functionality of modern homes.
Contemporary architecture is open to 
eclecticism and inspiration can be drawn 
from all manner of historical references, it is 
just a matter of taste. Whether you’re more 
inclined towards traditional or latest 
designs, real estate agencies in 
Lebanon, OR can find them for you.
