Early American House Plans

Early American house plans included in the MonsterHousePlan.com collection incorporate many of our American forefather's house designs. We created this category because many people can't really put a finger on the difference between a Federal or Georgian house plan, but they know that they like both nostalgic looks. In a nutshell, the Early American house came in many flavors; it is a type rather than a particular style of house plan.

Monster House Plans Early American house plan collection also includes Cape Cods, Colonials, Greek Revival, and Saltbox house plans. Common features of Early American house plans are:

Symmetrical facade
Rectangular shape
2 to 3 stories
Brick or wood siding
Simple, classical detailing
Multi-pane, double hung windows with shutters
Dormers
Paneled doors with sidelights and topped with rectangular transoms
Center entry-hall floor plan
Living areas on the first floor and bedrooms on the upper floors
Fireplaces

Let's take a look at George Washington's Potomac estate. Features that qualify it as Early American yet Georgian are a hipped roof, chimneys at both ends of the house, and the portico in the middle of the roof. Thomas Jefferson's Monticello falls into this category but also incorporated Neo Classical elements such as the dome.

Early Americans built a diverse selection of house plan styles, partially depending upon where their roots originated. Not included in Monster House Plans collection are Early American dwellings such as Pueblos and of course, Native American teepees.
