- i can't name any US cities, specifically, i am pretty sure the west coast has a lot. i was in victorica, BC, canada, a few years ago. it has an awesome collection of A&C homes!!
- Newport, Rhode Island and San Francisco, CA both have several homes. http://www.cupola.com/html/bldgstru/artscrft/artscr01.htm The Gamble House in Pasedena, CA is also very famous: http://www.gamblehouse.org/tours/index.html
- Berkeley (North Berkeley and around the Cal campus) and Oakland (Rockridge and Oakland Hills), California Newport is better known for shingle style (McKim, Mead & White) which grew out of Arts & Crafts.
- West Coast - from Seattle to San Diego. Denver. Chicago. Even North Carolina and Oklahoma. Just about any place that had a building boom from circa 1905 to 1929. Arts and Crafts also included the subcategories of Mission and Prairie style homes. Check the links below for some pictures and more information on the movement and architectural style.
- trees is right, we were recently in british columbia, in vancouver, and huge amount of A&C style homes. and the new building style there is arts and crafts, so they are getting a massive collection of arts and crafts original homes, updated original homes and new homes. factor in all those japanese cherry blossom trees and babe, its something!
- Pasadena. In addition to the Gamble House, every year there are tours through many of the many A/C homes in the area.
