Significance: The Richardson House is a contributing historic resource in the existing Braselton National Register of Historic Places District and represents the early twentieth century modest residential dwellings being constructed in Braselton at that time. Constructed ca. 1930, this house is a good representative example of the bungalow house type with Craftsman elements. The bungalow house type was popular in all regions of Georgia between 1900 and 1930, both in rural areas and all sizes of municipalities. The Craftsman style was the most popular early twentieth century style in Georgia. The Craftsman style was a break with the popular revivals of historical styles and a movement toward the modern house. Craftsman styles were built across the state in rural, small town, and urban settings from the 1910s through the 1930s. The character-defining features of the Craftsman style included a low-pitched roof that is usually gabled but may also be hipped, widely overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, decorative brackets or braces at the eaves, porches with short square columns set on piers, and windows with a multi-paned sash over a large one-pane sash. The Richardson House is similar in its period of construction, construction techniques, house type, and stylistic ornamentation to many of the other historic vernacular residences in Braselton. These houses were constructed during the early-to-mid period of the twentieth century using wood frame construction techniques, and they were built as bungalow house types with elements of the Craftsman style.
