    5. Early Shelter At first American builders were not worried as much about style. They needed just needed shelter. These things affected how they made their home: Climate local building materials (North-trees; Prairie- sod houses; Florida- thatched roof) available technology culture from which the settlers originated. Styles of architecture in early America generally imitated those developed in Western Europe. These styles were first built on the east coast and then copied by settlers as they moved westward. In the 19th and early 20th century, many houses in America revived styles from earlier periods of western civilization.

    6. Greek Revival Based on Greek Temples Buildings of this style are generally balanced and symmetrical. Most Greek Revival buildings have a covered entry porch or portico that is composed of a row of columns topped by a horizontal decorative band called a frieze, with a triangular pediment at the gable. This style was particularly popular at the time of the Civil War.

    10. Italianate The Italianate style was based on the rural architecture of Italy. Italianate houses usually have a square shape and two stories with wide eaves which are supported by large brackets. The roof of an Italianate house has a low slope, and there is often a cupola crowing the top. Windows on this style of building are often rounded, and highly decorated columns support porches.

    11. Second Empire The Second Empire style was based on the buildings erected during the reign of Napoleon III of France. An important feature of this style is a steeply sloped Mansard roof which was named for its originator, Francois Mansart. This shape created a tall, easily accessible attic space. Second Empire buildings often feature central pavilions and are richly decorated with quoined corners, cresting and elements of design borrowed from the Classical tradition.

    13. Queen Anne The Queen Anne style is an American version of a popular English style initiated by the architect, Norman Shaw. These houses are asymmetrical and they often have wrap around porches, turrets, projecting gables and corner bays. These houses are richly decorated with a variety of surface textures, and many are painted in bold, contrasting colors to accentuate the whimsy of the ornamentation. Many people like to refer to Queen Anne style houses as Victorian or they call them, Painted Ladies.

    14. Georgian Revival The Georgian Revival house is often a combination of various colonial styles and contemporary elements. Homes of this style have a double-pitched, gambrel or hipped roofs. Some have a flat deck with a railing on the top. Georgian Revival houses have large balconied porticos, and they are decorated with columns, classically styled cornices, quoined corners and projecting bays.
