Craftsman homes were built throughout North America, and many remain in residential use today. This Cornerstone kit captures the traditional two-story design with siding details, shake-shingle siding on the upper story, a detailed dormer, and a front porch. These architectural elements make the house useful for establishing an older neighborhood that can remain appropriate as the modeled railroad progresses into later eras. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
