Pattern Book: Rock Springs

ROCK SPRINGS is the spirit of the mountains in architectural form.  It represents a style highly popular in the heyday of the Western lodge, with antecedents found in Craftsman neighborhoods across America.  Everything about this house, from the stumped columns, battered brick-and-stone bases, hefty brackets, and Etruscan windows suggests solidity coupled with style.  Builders and developers should note that wavy-edged siding can be used as an alternative to simple clapboards.  The ground story of the home contains a living area, flex space, and spacious bedroom suite—the perfect situation for parents, in-laws, and other extended-stay guests.  The second floor features the master suite, which is connected to the rest of the house by a gallery space.  A large family room, open kitchen, and formal dining room complete the second floor, while the top story features two bedrooms with Jack-and-Jill baths.
