Herb Strattford traces the development and evolution of Stickley's unique style as well as the creation of his diverse businesses, including furniture manufacturing, a ground-breaking Manhattan store, the Craftsman magazine, and Craftsman Farms. Stickley's influence in the arts and crafts movement is discussed. The film visits several key locations in Stickley's lifetime, including his Syracuse home, where he lived and created his first arts and crafts interior. It also details the eventual loss of his businesses, and, after several decades, the rebirth and recognition of the movement he inspired.
