in a way that few competitors could.  While not as polished as Greene 
and Greene, his work was a lot more refined — and original — than what 
most builders were offering at the time.  His houses were joyfully 
expressive, particularly when it came to masonry and roof details.  His 
most adventurous designs played up the more exotic origins of the 
Craftsman aesthetic and at times paid homage to Japanese traditions.  
Much of his work had a naturalistic, even organic, aspect to it.  His 
designs were all interesting, even the most mundane of them.

Merritt’s brother-in-law, Virgil Hall, to found Seattle’s Craftsman 
Bungalow Company.  And the rest, as they say, is history…</p><p>http://architecturalobserver.com/craftsman-bungalow-nirvana-the-captivating-designs-of-jud-yoho/</p><p><br /></p><p>Further information: https://www.jstor.org/stable/3514375<br /></p>
