Craftsman Interior Design
Craftsman architecture, a hallmark of the early 20th century, emerged from the Arts and Crafts Movement, which emphasized the value of handcraftsmanship and simple, honest design in response to the Industrial Revolution's mass production. Influenced by the work of designers like Gustav Stickley and the architectural legacy of the Greene brothers (Charles and Henry Greene), Craftsman homes prioritize craftsmanship, natural materials, and a harmonious integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. Key Features of Craftsman Interior Design Open Floor Plans with Defined Spaces Craftsman interiors typically feature open yet subtly defined spaces. For example, living and dining areas are often open to each other but separated by built-in bookcases or wood columns. This layout was designed to facilitate social gatherings and emphasize the functional and communal nature of the home. Rich Woodwork and Natural Materials The use of natural wood is a defining characteristic of Craftsman homes. Oak, mahogany, or fir is often used for built-in furniture, exposed beams, wainscoting, crown moldings, and trim around windows and doors. The woodwork is typically stained to highlight the natural grain, adding warmth and depth to the interiors. The emphasis on natural materials extends to stone fireplaces, tilework, and even flooring, often featuring hardwood or slate. Built-In Furniture Functional and handcrafted built-ins are an essential feature of Craftsman interior design. These include bookcases flanking the fireplace, window seats, dining room buffets, and even integrated writing desks or sideboards. Built-ins provide practicality while also showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of the home's woodwork. Earthy Color Palettes Craftsman interiors embrace earthy and nature-inspired colors, such as warm browns, deep greens, rusts, and soft golds. These colors reflect the organic tones found in the surrounding landscape and contribute to the overall warmth and coziness of the home. Wall finishes may include painted plaster or simple, neutral wallpapers with nature-inspired patterns. Handcrafted Details and Hardware The focus on handcrafted quality extends to smaller details, including the hardware and light fixtures. Craftsman homes often feature metalwork in oil-rubbed bronze, hammered copper, or wrought iron. Light fixtures, often in the form of lanterns or pendant lights, are simple yet striking, sometimes adorned with art glass shades to diffuse the light softly. Fireplaces as a Focal Point The fireplace is often the centerpiece of the Craftsman living room. It is typically flanked by built-in bookcases or benches and constructed with natural materials like stone or brick. The mantle is often made of rich wood, and the design may include decorative tile work that complements the home’s color palette. The surrounding area is intentionally inviting, serving as a gathering space for the family. Leadlight and Stained Glass Craftsman interiors frequently include stained or leaded glass windows. These can be found in cabinets, entry doors, or transom windows, often showcasing simple geometric patterns inspired by nature, such as leaves, flowers, or tree branches. The use of stained glass adds a touch of artistry and color, emphasizing the movement's dedication to handcrafted detail. Simple, Elegant Textiles Textiles in Craftsman homes are kept simple to complement the clean lines of the architecture. Curtains, rugs, and upholstery are made from natural fibers like wool, linen, or cotton, often featuring geometric patterns or designs inspired by nature. These textiles are functional, durable, and add warmth to the space without overpowering the architectural elements. Mission-Style and Stickley Furniture Furniture in a Craftsman home is designed to be both beautiful and functional, embodying the ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Mission-style furniture, often designed by Gustav Stickley, is characterized by clean, straight lines, flat panels, and visible joinery. Pieces are typically made of oak and upholstered with leather or simple fabrics. This furniture style enhances the authenticity and timeless appeal of Craftsman interiors. Emphasis on Artistry and Practicality Craftsman interior design balances beauty with function. Decorative elements are thoughtfully placed, and ornamentation is minimal, focusing on craftsmanship and the integrity of the materials. The overall effect is a space that feels both artful and practical, perfect for comfortable, everyday living. Legacy of Craftsman Interiors The enduring appeal of Craftsman interiors lies in their emphasis on quality, authenticity, and a strong connection to nature. Even today, Craftsman homes are admired for their timeless warmth and the way they celebrate handcrafted beauty. The interiors remain a testament to the idea that a home should be a welcoming, functional, and artful space, built to withstand the test of time.

Previous Owner: Jane Berneche
Mary Jane Gilbert Berneche, Mary Jane Gilbert Jarvis Berneche, 78, of Price passed away on Thursday, August 20, 2015. Born on June 17, 1937 in Standardville, Utah, Jane was the youngest child and only girl of Namon Bernie and Mary Etta Snyder Gilbert. Her family lived in several of the coal towns in Spring Canyon until 1942 when they moved to Price. She graduated from Carbon High in 1955 and married Lawrence Jarvis. They had three children. In 1964, she and Lawrence divorced and Jane moved with her three children to Las Vegas. They moved to Savannah, Georgia in 1968 before making their way back to Price in 1970. In 1971 she married Ronald Berneche, and joined her family with his two sons. Together she and Ron had one daughter and adopted another child. As a resident of Price for most of her life, Jane was very active in her local community and proud to be from Carbon County. She was a lifelong member of Price United Methodist Church. For many years she owned the Red Balloon Children's Clothing Store on Main Street and was a member of the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce. In 1991 Jane became a licensed realtor. She served on the Carbon Emery Board of Realtors for many years and held every office on the Board, including Director. She served as the Vice President of the Carbon Emery Habitat for Humanity for eight years. Jane was passionate about helping people find and afford homes, and especially took great pleasure in working with Habitat for Humanity families. As a realtor she worked tirelessly for her clients, always going above and beyond the job to help her clients - all of whom she considered her friend. Jane volunteered with Relay for Life for several years, making gallons of her homemade spaghetti sauce for the pre-race pasta dinner. Most important to Jane was her family, and if you stayed for dinner at her house more than once you were family. She adored her grandchildren and great children. She especially enjoyed taking them to the movies, to the Dinosaur Museum, and for ice cream. Jane is survived by her children, Viki Jarvis Bowman; Brad (Peggy) Jarvis; Ronald (Valery) Berneche; Benjamin (Sonia) Berneche; Brione Berneche Pattison; Kristy Berneche Hardman; and daughter-in-law Janie Jarvis.

History of Price
Utah History Encyclopedia, 1994 Price, the largest city in Carbon County and the county seat is situated in the Price River Valley of the Colorado Plateau in Utah. Named after LDS Bishop William Price of Goshen, who explored the area in 1869, Price was initially part of Sanpete County and later included in Emery County when it was formed in 1880. It became an organized community on July 14, 1892, while still part of Emery County. The first recorded settlers in the Price River Valley were Caleb Baldwin Rhoades and Abraham Powell, trappers from Salem, Utah. They arrived in October 1877 and built a cabin in what is now the northwest part of Price. After the trapping season, they returned to Salem, sparking interest among friends and family. However, Powell never returned, as he was tragically killed by a bear on December 7, 1878, in the Nebo Mountains. Rhoades returned to the valley on January 21, 1879, with Frederick Empire Grames and Charles W. Grames. The three men constructed homes for their families, who joined them later that year, along with other settlers, mostly from Utah County. Life for these early pioneers was challenging. Food was scarce, and irrigation water was difficult to obtain, requiring water to be hauled from the river in barrels. An irrigation ditch was a top priority, and Rhoades and Grames began digging two ditches in February 1879. The community eventually completed these ditches, but it was the construction of the Price Water Company Canal, finished in 1888, that provided a lasting solution to the irrigation problem. This canal remains in use today. The arrival of the railroad in 1883 significantly transformed Price from an isolated farming area into Castle Valley’s commercial hub. The town quickly became the region’s center for retail, politics, education, and culture. The railroad also facilitated access to nearby coal mines, drawing thousands of foreign-born, non-Mormon immigrants to work in the mining industry. Many miners initially lived in camps near the mines, but Price gradually absorbed these diverse groups, becoming a vibrant and culturally rich community. The town's population came to include a variety of ethnicities, primarily Greeks, Italians, Austrians, and Japanese, contributing to its enduring cultural diversity. Today, Price boasts numerous stores, businesses, parks, schools, recreational facilities, and a full-service hospital. It is also home to the College of Eastern Utah (CEU), a growing community college. The recent expansion of CEU’s Prehistoric Museum has turned it into one of the world's leading institutions of its kind. Price’s economy remains closely linked to the coal industry, which has led to periods of economic fluctuation. Nevertheless, Price continues to serve as Castle Valley’s commercial and cultural heart. In 1990, the population was 8,712, and the town has maintained its unique character among Utah communities. Photo 1: Main Street (looking East) Price, Utah Photo 2: Old Price City Train Depot

The American Craftsman Architecture Style
The American Craftsman architectural style, or simply “Craftsman,” is a hallmark of American domestic architecture that emerged in the early 20th century, drawing deeply from the British Arts and Crafts movement. This style was influenced by the desire to return to simpler, handcrafted, and beautifully functional design, contrasting sharply with the ornate and machine-dominated aesthetics of the Victorian era. It quickly became popular in the United States, especially in small-to-medium-sized homes, reflecting a shift towards affordability, practicality, and an appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship. Origins and Influences The American Craftsman style was inspired by the British Arts and Crafts movement, which had taken root as early as the 1860s as a response to the Industrial Revolution’s effects on craftsmanship and worker conditions. Led by prominent thinkers like John Ruskin and William Morris, the British movement championed the dignity of human labor, valuing handwork over machine production, and sought to create beautiful yet simple objects and environments. This movement criticized the Victorian fascination with mass-produced, mismatched, and overly ornate items. The ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement aimed to restore art's role in daily life, combining functionality with beauty. The movement reached America toward the late 19th century, aligning with the decline of the Victorian era. American designers shared the British emphasis on simplicity, local materials, and social reform but adapted the style to the needs of a growing middle class. In the U.S., the movement was less exclusive and more scalable, allowing designs to be accessible to a broader market. This adaptability led to the creation of the “Craftsman” style, which was named after The Craftsman magazine, founded in 1901 by designer and furniture maker Gustav Stickley. Stickley’s magazine promoted home designs, furniture, and ideals that embodied the Craftsman spirit, elevating modest, functional, and affordable homes. Characteristics of the American Craftsman Style American Craftsman homes are defined by their clean, solid lines, a visibly sturdy structure, and the use of natural materials. The architectural elements of Craftsman homes often feature: - Low-pitched, gabled roofs with overhanging eaves, creating a sense of shelter and durability. - Exposed rafters and beams, showcasing the home’s structure and connecting it to the ideals of handwork. - Large front porches with thick, tapered columns or pedestals, inviting social interaction and promoting a connection to nature. - Built-in cabinetry, shelves, and benches, enhancing functionality while providing simple, elegant storage solutions. - Artistic touches like handcrafted wood, metal, and glasswork, including leaded or stained glass windows. In many ways, the Craftsman home was the architectural embodiment of “truth to materials” — celebrating the inherent beauty of wood, stone, and brick rather than disguising them. Regional Variations and the California Bungalow The Craftsman style found a particularly strong following in Southern California, where climate and lifestyle aligned well with its open, airy designs. Here, a smaller version of the Craftsman home became widely popular, known as the “California Bungalow.” These bungalows were smaller, single-story homes that retained the essential elements of the Craftsman style but in a more compact and affordable layout. The California Bungalow contributed to Craftsman’s spread nationwide, especially as it met the needs of middle-class families seeking modest yet aesthetically pleasing homes. Revival and Enduring Popularity The American Craftsman style peaked from around 1905 to the 1930s, after which the Great Depression limited new housing and design trends began to shift. However, the style’s emphasis on craftsmanship, simplicity, and connection to nature has led to several revival movements, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century. Many original Craftsman homes have been restored, and new homes inspired by Craftsman principles continue to be built, showing the style's lasting appeal. Key Influences and Legacy American Craftsman architecture was heavily influenced by several design movements and cultures: Shingle Style: Transitioning from Victorian ornamentation, Shingle style influenced the Craftsman’s move toward simpler forms. Prairie Style: Prominent architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, influenced by Craftsman ideals, developed the Prairie Style, which shared similar values of harmony with nature and structural integrity. Mission Revival and Anglo-Japanese Style: Mission Revival brought in aspects of Southwestern architecture, while Anglo-Japanese aesthetics influenced the detailing and simplicity seen in Craftsman homes. The Craftsman style left an enduring mark on American architecture, celebrating functional beauty and a return to craftsmanship during an age of industrialization. This influence would later contribute to the Art Deco movement of the 1930s, where the principles of originality and artistry continued to evolve. Today, Craftsman homes are celebrated for their connection to history, with restored originals and new interpretations honoring their timeless qualities. These homes continue to resonate with homeowners who appreciate natural materials, handcrafted details, and a design philosophy rooted in simplicity and integrity.

History of Housing in Price
The history of housing development in Price, Utah, is closely tied to the region’s growth as a hub for mining and agriculture in the early 20th century. Price was founded in 1879 and incorporated as a city in 1911, largely shaped by the arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad in the 1880s. The railroad was instrumental in establishing Price as a key economic center, facilitating the growth of coal mining operations in nearby areas such as Helper and Castle Gate. The housing boom in Price started in the early 1900s, driven by the influx of miners and their families. During this period, the architecture was typically modest and functional, reflecting the needs of working-class families. Small, wood-framed houses and simple bungalows were common, often featuring porches and practical designs suitable for the local climate. As the city continued to grow, homes were often built near coal mines, railroads, and agricultural lands, creating distinct neighborhoods based on proximity to work opportunities. The 1920s and 1930s saw continued expansion, with homes reflecting a variety of architectural styles, from Craftsman bungalows to Tudor Revival houses. During the Great Depression, housing development slowed, but the New Deal brought infrastructure projects to the area, which helped stabilize the community and maintain local employment. After World War II, Price experienced another wave of housing development as returning veterans sought new homes. This era brought the construction of ranch-style houses and mid-century modern designs, expanding the city into suburban-style neighborhoods. As Price continued to serve as the economic center of Carbon County, housing reflected the changing needs and prosperity of the region. In the late 20th century, housing growth slowed as the coal industry declined, impacting the local economy. However, the city has preserved much of its historic character, with neighborhoods and homes still reflecting the diverse architectural influences of Price’s early years. Today, many of the original homes and buildings from the early 1900s still stand, providing a tangible link to the past and the city’s early economic boom. Black-and-white photograph depicting a view of Price, Utah, taken between 1910 and 1937 from the Clarence Stevenson collection.
