San Francisco is known for its Victorians but the turn of the 20th century brought a new, less ornate look to San Francisco Bay Area architecture. The Craftsman-homes were practical, straightforward and simple; in many ways they were anti-Victorian in style.

A very determined architect named Julia Morgan was one of the leaders of this Northern California design revolt. This home in Berkeley makes extensive use of natural wood. It also features a 16-foot-high stone fireplace and an intimate dining room wrapped in warm woods.
