Architectural Styles

Classical Revival (1895 - 1950)

The Classical Revival or Neoclassical style is one of the most commonly seen across the state and the country. Inspired by the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, which renewed interest in classical forms, this style encompasses many sub - styles such as Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Neoclassical Revival, and Mediterranean Revival. Colonial Revival is often used in residential dwellings, while Greek and Neoclassical Revival are common in commercial buildings like banks, post offices, and municipal buildings.

Queen Anne (1880 - 1910)

The Queen Anne style emerged in the United States during the Victorian Period. It ranges from high - style designs, like the one in the picture, to more vernacular styles that retain the Queen Anne form without the high - style architectural details.

Craftsman Bungalow (1900 - 1930)

The terms “craftsman” and “bungalow” are often used interchangeably. “Craftsman” refers to the Arts and Crafts movement and is an architectural style, while “bungalow” is the form of the house. Bungalows often feature a craftsman style.

Tudor Cottage (1910 - 1950)

Tudor homes are inspired by the Medieval period and vary in size and style. Generally, the Tudor style features steeply pitched roofs (often with a cat - slide roof line), mostly brick construction (sometimes with half - timber framing), front - facing and prominently placed brick or stone chimneys, and tall windows with rectangular or diamond - shaped panes. Front doors are typically off - center with a round arch at the top.

Mid - Century Modern Ranch (1930 - 1970)

The Ranch style originated in southern California in the mid - 1930s. In the 1940s, it was one of the small house types financed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), along with Minimal Traditional and other small house styles. After WWII, as financial controls on small house building were lifted, the Ranch house became increasingly popular and was the most predominant residential style in the country by the 1950s.
