Colonial Revival Style Home

Colonial Home Plans

The Colonial Revival Style Home gave a new dimension to the American home by melding beautifully many of the elements taken from the Queen Anne, Federal, and Georgian architecture,. Vast wealth began accumulating throughout the new land due the industrial age. Therefore...

...homes were being built larger with more ornamental attributes.

A home built in this phase of architectural history can have a variety of features where no two homes look quite the same. This style later evolved into the Four-Square and Bungalow designs in the early 1900's.

Common features of a Colonial Revival may include:

Hipped Roof with a Central Dormer set with a Palladian Window

Symmetrical Block Design

Centered Front Door

Fanlights or Transoms with Sidelights

Broken Pediments without Columns over Front Entrance

Clapboard Siding

Flat Roofed Wings protruding from one side of the Home.
