Common Federalist features may include:

Either a Low Pitched, or nearly Flat Roof.

A very smooth Facade.

Pediment over Front Entrance.

Columns and Dentil Moldings.

Deck with railing for ornamentation on top of Roof.

Fanlights with Sidelights at Front Door

Single, Double-Hung Windows adorned with Louvered Shutters.

Central Hall Plan

Room shapes were at times circular, octagonal, or oval.
