Probably refers to a building style that was prevalent in that era.
Here in California, these homes are referred to as "California
Craftsman" style. They are very unique and may contain period details
and embellishments such as built-in redwood or gumwood cabinets in
dining rooms and around fireplace, boxed beam ceilings, wainscoting,
antique wall sconces, clinker brick, beautiful glazed tile in
bathrooms, etc.
