<br />AR&HT ECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival
<br />The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876
<br />Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing
<br />upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and
<br />designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side -
<br />gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories In height, are often
<br />included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and
<br />entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not
<br />uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian
<br />windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors.
<br />Popular in the 1930s, the Regency Variant of the Colonial Revival style draws on English rather than American
<br />precedents. The Regency Variant often displays a simplified entry and door surround, framed within a metal entry porch
<br />with a canopy roof. Simpler in its ornamental program than the Colonial Revival, the Regency Variant also incorporates
<br />features such as ornamental segmented pediments, octagonal windows and metal balconettes formed of simple
<br />geometric patterns. (McAlester, 320-326; 331-332).

<br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style, Additionally, the house has been
