Information

This home, circa 1924 is an excellent example of Classic Colonial Revival Architecture. Classic Colonial Revival architecture is a style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing inspiration from the traditional colonial homes of early American settlers. These houses typically feature symmetrical facades with a centered front door flanked by evenly spaced windows. The exterior often incorporates elements such as clapboard or brick siding, and a prominent central chimney.

Colonial Revival houses may also include decorative elements like pediments, columns, and dentil moldings, reminiscent of classical Greek and Roman architecture. Gabled roofs with dormer windows are common, adding to the timeless and dignified appearance of the homes.

Inside, Colonial Revival houses often have a central hallway with rooms arranged symmetrically on either side, reflecting a sense of balance and order. Overall, this architectural style evokes a nostalgic appreciation for America's colonial heritage, with its emphasis on simplicity, symmetry, and classical detailing.
