HMRArchitects

In 1908 Gustav Stickley began purchasing different parcels of land that would eventually form the original 650 acres of Craftsman Farms. In 1911 he designed the Log House, which would become the center of a proposed utopian community that was never realized. Today, the Log House anchors this National Historic Landmark site, which is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the Arts & Crafts movement in the United States. HMR Architects has supported this mission since 1993 through the completion of many preservation projects starting with the preparation of a Historic Structure Report and measured drawings. Subsequent projects at the Log House have included structural repairs, roof replacement, several interior restoration projects, and the installation of fire protection improvements. There are several other Stickley-era buildings on the site including, barns, the current Education Center, and three small cottages, including the White Cottage, where HMR is currently completing Phase 1 of a major rehabilitation project.
