  3. Colonial • It is a several story house with distinctive features. Usually the windows and doors are intricate (e.g.the doors have a decorative pediment (triangular or broken) and has pillars supporting the entryway). There are 4 different styles of a Colonial: • A Dutch Colonial usually has a gabled roof (all different kinds) and is most popular in New York and Pennsylvania. • A Spanish Colonial has a low pitched (almost flat) roof, has no overhang, and white stucco walls and glazed tiles. • A New England Colonial is sometimes a cottage styled house. It always has wooden clavards (wooden panels overlaying each other on the exterior of the house) to keep out cold bitter winds. • A Georgian Colonial is usually a house for the upper class. It has a plain but side gabled roof, and is a symmetrical house. Georgians are sometimes made of brick. These houses tend to show authority, and superiority. • Floor plan and examples:

  4. Victorian • Victorians are houses that were very popular in 1860-1900. They’re multi-story houses that have intricate designs. The most popular Victorian styles are Queen Anne and Mansard. • Common features include a mansard roof (a roof with two slants on all sides, the bottom of the roof very steep, the top of the roof very flat) or a steeply pitched roof. They also include patterned shingles, wrap-around porches, and dormers. • Floor plans and examples:

  5. Queen Anne • It was most popular in 1875-1895. It is a style of a Victorian. It is a multiple-story house that has many details. Though they used to be painted solely white, lately, people are becoming less conservative and painting them all different colors. • Common features include a lot of intricate woodcutting, many bay windows, patterned wood shingles, very steep gabled roof, a wrap around porch, and it isn’t unusual to see a circular tower that extends the entire height of building. • Floor plan and examples:

  6. Bungalow/Craftsman • Among all the houses, a bungalow isn’t among the most popular. They are houses that supposedly look as if they’re part of the nature surrounding them. It is a one story house. They were most popular in 1910-1935. It is among the less expensive houses. • Common features include unpainted wood, exposed rafters on the porch, a covered porch, a long low pitched roof, and an overhanging roof. • Floor plan and examples:

  7. Greek Revival • It is a house (one story or more) that is based on ancient Greece and Rome. It was most popular in 1830-1850.This kind of house focuses on beauty and proportion. It is used with buildings (such as banks) as well as houses. • Common features include pillars either one or two stories tall, doors with classical surround (detail), the features being symmetrical, and the exterior being built of brick or wood that is painted white. • Floor plans and examples:

  8. Cape • Also called the “Cape Cod House”, it is a two-story rectangular-like house. Though originally built back when the English settlers came to the Northeast, it is still a model used for homes today. • Common features include a central chimney, a pitched roof (low or higher), sometimes an ell or garage attached, a gambrel roof and a small amount of rooms. • Floor plans and examples:

  9. Contemporary • It was most popular in 1950-1970. It can be one or more stories, and is usually a bigger house. Contemporary style is where a house that tries to blend into it’s surroundings. • Common features for the Contemporary style includes unusual placement and shape of windows, a low pitched/low gabled roof, and a wide eave overhang. • Floor plan and examples:

  10. International • It is a geometric kind of style. International style is where the house tries to stand out, like a sculpture (mostly used in business buildings.) These houses/buildings are supposed to be intended solely for usefulness, so usually no extra details are added. • Common features include the houses/buildings being asymmetrical, and them being made of glass, steel or concrete, a flat roof, smooth flat walls, and large windows. • Floor plan and examples:

  11. Split Level • It became popular in the 1950’s, and is still popular today. A Split Level home is a modification of a ranch. It’s like what it sounds: it had 3 levels, each connected by a small staircase. These houses generally are modern with basic detail. Sometimes there’s a basement. The reason this style is so popular is that it’s a lot of living space on a small piece of land, and it’s also a house that can be built on a slope. • Common features include many horizontal lines, a low pitched roof, and overhanging eaves.
