Are these details incorrect?

1. The Gamble House (1908)

This handcrafted masterpiece is a symphony of rich wood, leaded glass windows, and a stained-glass Tiffany door.
2. The Cole House (1906)

This large home, owned by a church, marks the first time the Greenes added a porte-cochere (a porchlike roof) above the driveway in front of the house.
3. The Ranney House (1907)

Mary Ranney worked as a draftsperson at the brothers’ firm and contributed many of the design ideas for this lovely shingled corner mansion.
4. The Hawks House (1906)

This home is distinguished by a very wide covered porch, which keeps out the heat as well as the light, giving the house a rather sombre appearance.
5. The Van Rossem-Neill House (1903)

Hemmed in by an unusual wall made of warped clinker bricks and boulders, this pretty house has a stained-glass front door.
6. The White Sisters House (1903)

This house has lost much of its Craftsman look thanks to the replacement of the shingle exterior with painted stucco.
7. The Charles Sumner Greene House (1901–16)

Charles experimented with many Craftsman ideas while building his own home. The front room, buttressed by boulders and bricks, was a later addition.
8. The Duncan-Irwin House (1902)

This large, beautiful home, originally a single story bungalow, pays homage to Japanese design with its slightly upturned roofs.
9. The James Culbertson House (1902–15)

The stained-glass entrance door, the clinker brick wall, and the pergola are the only surviving Greene & Greene elements of this extensively remodeled home.
10. The Halsted House (1905)

Originally one of the brothers’ smallest designs, this bungalow sports a deep overhang of eaves sheltering the main entrance along the driveway side.
