A Colonial Revival style house with Craftsman features. At the end of the Victorian era, wonderful houses were built that combined elements of the popular emerging styles of the new century. This is a lovely example, essentially a Colonial Revival house with detailing in the Craftsman style at the eaves, was built in 1920.
Colonial Revival and Craftsman are two of the 25 styles and types illustrated in Chapter 2 of Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners. Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
