This is a typical Cracker homestead. Cracker refers to the unpretentious people and architecture found on farms and in rural communities still sprinkled throughout the Florida peninsula and panhandle wetlands.

A separate kitchen structure was built out back to isolate the heat of cooking and the hazards of fire.

Water was pumped by hand. The well was dug at the rear of the house adjacent to the kitchen.

The pump is set just off the back of the main house.

With broad porches and this "dog trot" breezeway, the interior space was somewhat insulated for direct sunlight. It also served as a sheltered workspace. The kitchen building is at the end of the walkway.

Houses were built high up off the damp ground on piers.

The outhouse can be seen through the trees. Toilets were small wooden buildings commonly with two seating spaces. Unheated, the privy was cold in the wintertime. Waste built up under the seat until it was necessary to move the privy, or construct a new one. At night, women and girls made use of a flanged bucket known asa a slop jar and kept it under their beds. There is a slop jar on the corner of the porch. Indoor plumbing did not come to most farms until the 1930's, 1940's, or 1950's.

Cracker homesteaders oriented their houses on a north-south axis which maximized solar impact on all three sunny sides. Such a tactic helped to keep the wall dry. Placement of the fireplace and chimney in the north gable end would keep that fourth sunless wall dry as well. In the photograph, the wood is stacked off the ground alongside of the chimney.

The hipped roof is a distinguishing feature of the bungalow style which is particularly appropriate for hot climates, since warm air rises up into the high roof and leaves the rooms below cooler.

The original concrete porch flooring was replaced with pine wood by Ron Berthelot.

One or one-and-a-half-story Craftsman houses are called bungalows. The Berthelot bungalow exemplifies the style with its wide, deep front porch, supported by thick, simple columns which sit on brick pedestals.

The Craftsman (or Arts and Crafts) movement in America developed as a reaction against the machine-made ornamental excess of the Victorian era. This was a back-to-nature movement, reflecting a desire to return to simpler times when craftsmen worked with their hands and took pride in detail. Structural detail and the use of good materials were prized over applied ornamentation. The bungalow has its roots in California, where this style was well suited to the warm climate. It then spread across the country to become one of the most common middle-class designs from 1910 to the 1930's.

New glass-front kitchen cabinets were designed for easy access from both kitchen and dining areas. This feature benefits the homeowners every day.

Visible outside the sunny dining area are deep rafters, which are typical of bungalows, craftsman architecture, and southern seaside cottages, all suggested by this renovated and restored 1928 home. To maximize views, shutters are the only dressing on any windows. These were salvaged from a garage sale. The 1950's turquoise and black dinette was grabbed at a flea market in Pace, Florida, just north of Pensacola.

Much of the year, the bungalow spreads out-of-doors. At the Berthelot home, four French doors open into the screened porch, which is comfortably furnished for relaxing, eating, and entertaining. In this Northwest Florida climate, the cooler autumn and gloriously floral spring are especially welcoming, but the shady setting, southern architecture, and a ceiling fam lure folks out even on hot summer days and nights.

By lowering the pine porch floor and adding a step down, Ron enhanced spaciousness. The original beveled ceiling is echoed in new kitchen cabinets. Open space atop the cabinets is ideal to display serving pieces or fun collectibles, such as an antique Donald Duck, a tin top, and a handmade wooden bus.

Wire-mesh screen was used on windows and doors in the Victorian era, but it was the Craftsman bungalow style that introduced the screen porch to the American home. Screen porches served to blur the distinction between outside and interior space and allowed the benefits of fresh air to be enjoyed without the annoyance of insects.

The screen porch provides a large exterior living area on the south and west side of the Berthelot bungalow.

The half acre, 150 x 125 foot lot still benefits from the masterful gardening of the Larcom family who owned the home for decades. The Berthelots are particularly indebted to camellia expert Franklin B. Larcom whose legacy blooms faithfully each winter and spring.
