RANCH (ca. 1935-75)
This style was originated in the inid- 19 3os by several creature California
architects, It gained ill I)Gpula,ity during the 1940s to become the domi-
nant style througholit the country during the decades of the 'Sos and '6os.
The- popularity of r rainblingl� Ranch houses was made possible by the
country's increasing dependence on the automobile. Streetcar suburbs of
the late-19th and early -loth centuries still used relatively compact house
forms on sinall lets hecallse people walked to nearby streetcar lines. As the
automobile replaced streetcars and buses as the principal means of personal
transportation in the decades following World War 11, compact houses
Could be replaced by sprawling designs on much larger lots. Never before
had it been Possitile to be so lavish with land, and the rarnhling forni of
the Ranch house crnphasizes this by maximizing facade widd) (which is
further increased by built-in garages that are 211 integral part of most
Ranch houses).
Tile style is loosely based on early Spanish Colonial precedents of the
American sotithwest, modificd by influences borrowed from Craftsman
and Prairie modernism of the early Both century.
Asymmetrical one-story shapes with low-pitched roofs dominate, Three
coninion FOOf forms are used-. the hipped version is probably the most
common, followed by the cross -gabled, and, finally, side -gabled examples.
There is usually 2 moderate or wide eave overhang, This may be either
boxed or open, with the rafters exposed as in Craftsman houses. Both
wooden and brick wall cladding are riled, sometimes in combination.
Builders frequently add modest bits of traditional detailing, usually loosely
based on Spanish or English Colonial precedents. Decorative iron or
wooden porch supports and decorative shutters are the most common.
Ribbon windows are frequent as are large picture windows in living areas.
Partially enclosed courtyards or patios, borrowed from Spanish houses, are
a common feature. These private outdoor living areas to the rear of the
house are a direct contrast to the large front and side porches of most late
19th- and early loth -center y styles.
