A gorgeous Neo-Classical style house in York, PA.
Neo-Classical, Classical Revival, or Late Queen Anne-Colonial Revival Transitional – whatever stylistic term you apply to it, this house is grand and fabulous.
Some architectural style names are somewhat flexible in their application (though some people are *very* certain about them). Classically inspired houses of the early 20th century often fall into this territory. While the specific name used may not be critical, understanding what the character defining features of the group of styles is if you are planning a restoration project.
Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” can help you figure it out. Twenty-five styles and types are described and illustrated with character-defining features of each style keyed to the photos.
The 720 page award-winning and best-selling book is available in bookstores nationwide and through online retailers.
Signed copies can be ordered directly from the author in the shop on this page, https://yourhistorichouse.com/shop/.
Bookstores can order copies from W.W. Norton.
