The New York Times recently decided to open up much of their historic archives for free, finally realizing that the ad revenue generated by increased access is far higher than what they could make in fees or subscriptions. As a result, there are plenty of interesting articles suddenly available to all of us that we'd have had to pay for in the past. I spent the morning searching for various Arts & Crafts related keywords, and here's what I turned up:

• R. W. Apple's Journeys column on Berkeley, California, with quite a bit on Maybeck and other local architects and artists;
• review of the 1997 Boston Arts & Crafts exhibit at Wellesley college;
• 'travel advisory' on Greene & Greene's wonderful 1909 Thorsen House in Berkeley;
• profile of a Sacramento-area family who did an extensive green remodel of their Craftsman bunglaow;
• article on the continued popularity of Rookwood pottery;
• visiting the Grove Park Inn, the site of Asheville NC's annual Arts & Crafts conference & show;
• Eagle Rock, Mount Washington and Highland Park: NE Los Angeles' Craftsman hideaways;
• 36 house in Pasadena, California's most (famous) bungalow-centric town;
• Spanish Colonial Revival "fixer-upper" in Mar Vista, CA;
• Arts / Artifacts column on California' contributions to the Arts & Crafts Movement;
• four interesting architecture-centric walking tours in San Francisco;
• Living In Forest Hill, NJ - an unlikely enclave of Arts & Crafts architecture; and
• a Maybeck home is sold in 2003 - but the focus here is the wonderful garden.
