The Arts and Crafts Movement started in England during the 19th century evironmental effects from the simple and repetitious designs that were derived from the machine-made products during the industrial revolution.

Most of my childhood memories took place in the home that I remember best, the red house on Hawthorne Street, in Portland, Oregon. The house was three stories of endless adventure, with a great big backyard for any little girl's imagination to run wild. In fact, I spent so much time outside that I barely remember the house at all. Also, for some reason, my fondest memories took place during the summer while I lived there. I remember riding my tricycle on the sidewalk with the two twin boys across the street, and sharing my dolls with the little girl who lived in the yellow bungalow three houses down from mine. But, the memory that sticks out most is our forth of July block party.
In both "Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene, the authors uses the houses to symbolize the reluctance to change in a modernizing world. A house is often a "comfort zone", a place where we feel safest. Because our homes become an oasis from society we customize them to fit our comforts. These comforts act as a stopwatch, resisting change. Emil, born a traditional southerner, experienced numerous occasions in which, a source betrayed her.

Robert Adam (1728–92) was one of the most important British architects working in the Neo-classical style and was a main force in the development of a unified style that extended beyond architecture and interiors to include both the fixed and moveable objects in a room.

The Victorian style of houses dates back to the reign of Queen Victoria. This luxurious style comes in copious different varieties, but is all tied together with minuscule detail work. The Victorian era spurred a worldwide want to decorate houses with decorative trimming and beautiful colors to make them more ornamental. Pastel reds, blues, and greens were common in these houses, making them appear bright. They also had exquisite designs around the windows, spindles that twisted in bizarre shapes, and all kinds of different sized windows. These houses and styles were incredibly common as well as a result of mass-production, making the materials cheaper for production and shipping. Inventions such as the steam engine and railroads made shipping these materials much easier than ever before. This led to even more ornamental designs around gables, porches, and windows. Even porch fencing and posts were decorated with scroll-sawn spindles and cornice. These minuscule details that could be closely compared to the ever so popular lace of that time were integral to the Victorian house for the reason that it took empty areas and dressed them up. These grand and elegant victorian houses had complex looking exteriors and that’s likely to be by cause of the maze-like layout that creates odd shapes, the elaborate trimming, and the materials and colors used.
