The Gustav Stickley House is a three-story wood frame Queen Anne style house in Syracuse, New York.
The Gustav Stickley House was originally designed by architect Wellington Tabor and purchased in June 1900 by furniture designer Gustav Stickley. On the outside, it is similar to many other houses on the block and in the neighborhood, not far from Syracuse University. However, the chestnut wall paneling and beamed interior that Stickley designed is regarded as the first comprehensive American Craftsman residential interior in the United States. [3]
Stickley owned this house between 1900 and 1911. On December 24, 1901, a chimney fire greatly damaged the house and the interior was renovated in 1902 by Stickley, who was by then a leading figure of the American Craftsman movement. [4] After the death of his wife, Gustav lived with his daughter Barbara Stickley Wiles & her family at this house from 1919 to his death there in 1942. [1]
Renderings of the interior and floor plans were published in December 1902 in The Craftsman , a magazine that Stickley founded in 1901. A reprint of the article appears in the NRHP nomination document. [1]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [2] After being vacant for over 20 years and in very deteriorated condition a comprehensive exterior restoration was completed by the University Neighborhood Preservation Association in 2018. A not-for-profit "friends" group, the "Gustav Stickley House Foundation, Inc.", has been formed to fund raise and support the Phase 2 interior restoration which is expected to be complete by 2021.
Gustav Stickley was an American furniture manufacturer, design leader, publisher, and a leading voice in the American Arts and Crafts movement. Stickley's design philosophy was a major influence on American Craftsman architecture.
Roycroft was a reformist community of craft workers and artists which formed part of the Arts and Crafts movement in the United States. Elbert Hubbard founded the community in 1895, in the village of East Aurora, New York, near Buffalo. Participants were known as Roycrofters. The work and philosophy of the group, often referred to as the Roycroft movement, had a strong influence on the development of American architecture and design in the early 20th century.
American Craftsman is an American domestic architectural style, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, which included interior design, landscape design, applied arts, and decorative arts, beginning in the last years of the 19th century. Its immediate ancestors in American architecture are the Shingle style, which began the move away from Victorian ornamentation toward simpler forms; and the Prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright. The name "Craftsman" was appropriated from furniture-maker Gustav Stickley, whose magazine The Craftsman was first published in 1901. The architectural style was most widely used in small-to-medium-sized Southern California single-family homes from about 1905, so that the smaller-scale Craftsman style became known alternatively as "California bungalow". The style remained popular into the 1930s, and has continued with revival and restoration projects through present times.

The Lewis T. Gilliland House is a historic residence in Portland, Oregon, United States. An excellent 1910 example of the American Craftsman style, it was designed by prominent Portland architect Ellis F. Lawrence by closely adapting plans published by Gustav Stickley. Stickley was the leading national exponent of Craftsman architecture, and no other work by Lawrence so precisely captures Stickley's aesthetic.
The House at 530 S. Marengo Avenue is a historic house in Pasadena, California. Built in 1905, the American Craftsman house was designed by Pasadena architect Louis B. Easton. Easton was one of several prominent Craftsman architects in Pasadena in the early 1900s; the house at 530 S. Marengo, located next to his own self-designed house at 540 S. Marengo, was one of his earliest designs. The house features exposed beams and hand-carved joint work in the spirit of the Craftsman style, which emphasized function over form. The interior of the home was inspired by homes in The Craftsman, Gustav Stickley's architecture magazine, which ultimately featured some of Easton's later works.
The South Marengo Historic District is a residential historic district located along South Marengo Avenue in Pasadena, California. The district consists of twelve Craftsman-style bungalows situated on the two blocks between Bellevue Drive and California Boulevard. The homes were built from 1901 to 1916, at the height of the bungalow's popularity in Pasadena. Several prominent local architects designed the homes, including Louis B. Easton, planner of the homes at 530 and 540 South Marengo; Easton's work was featured in Gustav Stickley's magazine The Craftsman. Marengo Avenue was considered an upscale district of Pasadena at the time, partly due to its well-designed homes and partly due to the pepper trees planted along the street.

It was built in 1908, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, Bungalow / American Craftsman style frame dwelling. It has a steeply pitched side-gable roof with dormers.

Ernest George Washington Dietrich, AIA was an American architect. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dietrich relocated to New York City in 1886 where he would practice for nearly forty years. His work included the design of churches, libraries, hotels, commercial and public buildings, but he is most highly regarded for his residential designs in the shingle, colonial revival, and arts and crafts styles. In cooperation with furniture designer Gustav Stickley, Dietrich designed the first “Craftsman House” published in The Craftsman magazine in May 1903.
