Found in places that developed 1915-1930 (though more closer to 1925). It's
not terribly common, since it was a stylistic variant, so you have to
stumble across them. They're far more common west of the Mississippi, just
because of the sheer numbers of residential structures that were developed
during the craftsman style's heyday. My house is a knockout in Raleigh,
where anything with a simple knee-brace under an eave qualifies as a
bungalow; in Denver, it's a pale reflection of 75 percent of the 1920s
housing stock.
By the way, the lookout dormer on my house displays aeroplane-style
influences.... (sorry, can't help beating a dead horse, George.) I've
