Although there aren’t a lot of pictures, the info seems to be pretty spot-on. On several levels, architecture mirrors art movements in other metiers, esp. in fine art.
I think another way to research this is to look into the urban planning for your region; if you are able to find out when neighborhoods were established, you can see a pretty clear pattern of representative styles for that era. Here in L.A., a city well known for its “sprawl” over the years/generations, you can see an interesting progression chronologically from the urban and suburban centers…my locale in Pasadena, Ca. has an pretty clear representation of this as many of the neighborhoods sprouted up post-World War II and were of the ranch/cottage style. Prior to that, a lot of Craftsman-style homes were set in what is now come to be known as the “California Bungalow” style.
