French Provincial Style Home

The French Provincial Style Home takes on features similar to that of the French Normandy style. Rather than having a more chateau appearance, it leans more towards the a formal French Manor Style home, of which in the 1600's was originated.

A French Provincial style home can best be described as a formal French Country farmhouse, and more rustic than the Renaissance style of the previous century.

Common French Provincial features may include:

      Highly Pitched Hipped or Gable Roof

      1-1/2 to 2-1/2 Stories

      Dormer Windows Set within Roof Cornice of Second Story

      Partially Cantilevered Second Story

      Copper Flashing, Slate Shingles and Roof Accents

      Tall-Narrow Windows and French Doors are Balanced and Aymmetrically Placed in the Overall Design

      Upper Floor Doors and Windows Generally Break Through into the Roof (Cornices)
