"The Arts and crafts movement was a reaction to idustrialisation. Arts and crafts was a reformist movement that influences British, Canadian and American architecture, decorative arts, cabinet making and craft. It consisted of auethentic and meaningful styles. When looked at on a whole it was neither a anti-industrial nor anti-modern. The movement turned entirly against machines and towards handcraft.

This house seems to have neo-gothic influences. It looks very rustic and has "cotegey" sufaces. To express the inherent beauty in craft some products were deliberatly left slightly unfinished resulting in a rustic and robust effect. This doesnt apply to this building but it still has other Art and crafts chrecteristics. This is a very old gothic building and i can see the similarities such as the pointy decorations and old windows.
