Colonial House Plans
Colonial homes hold a special place in American architecture. Early Colonial house plans include Georgian, Federal, Greek and Dutch Revival, Cape Cod and Saltbox. The MonsterHousePlans.com collection includes both Colonial Revival house plans and Colonial house plans. Look for these features in
luxurious Colonial house plans:
- Symmetrical facade
- Rectangular shape
- Windows in adjacent pairs
- Two or three stories
The Colonial Revival movement came about in the late 19th century. The style was influenced by American concerns about the influx of immigrants and the desire to reinforce American tradition and culture. With
Colonial style house plans, look for these additional features:
- Palladian (three part) windows
- Porches with classical columns
- Elaborately paneled doors topped with fanlights or pediments
- Heavy moldings called entablatures running under the roof lines
- Dutch Gambrel, or hip roof
- Clap board or brick exteriors
- Trim typically painted white with black or green shutters
Americans have embraced the Colonial house plan for over a century. It is one of the most beloved styles and is still being built and winning design awards to this day. Why? A nostalgic yearning for simpler times, American pride, it's anybody's guess why Colonial
house plans remain one of today's most popular house plans.
