Colonial Architecture THE 3 BASICS OF DESIGN IN ARCHITECTURE: Style Form Structure COLONIAL HOUSE STYLE: New England Colonial House Style Colonial Cape Cod House Style Spanish Colonial House Style German Colonial House Style Dutch Colonial House Style Georgian Colonial House Style French Colonial House Style 5
New England Colonial 1600-1740 The first British settlers in New England built simple timberframe houses like the ones they had known in their home country. Colonial Cape Cod 1600-1950 Much later, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, a renewed interest in America's past inspired a variety of Colonial Revival styles. Twentieth century Cape Cod houses often have dormers. 6
Spanish Colonial 1600-1900 Settlers in the Spanish territories of North America built simple, low homes made using rocks, adobe brick, or stucco. Settling in Florida, California, and the American Southwest, settlers from Spain and Mexico built homes with many features. German Colonial 1600-1850 German Settlers in the American colonies used local materials to recreate building styles from their homeland. Schifferstadt Architectural Museum in Frederick, Maryland is a landmark example of German Colonial Architecture. 7
Dutch Colonial 1625-1850 Settling along the Hudson River in the land that became New York State, Dutch colonists built brick and stone homes like those found in the Netherlands. Modern-day Dutch Colonial Revival houses borrow the gambrel roof found on historic Dutch Colonial houses. Georgian Colonial House Styles 1690 1830c Spacious and comfortable, Georgian Colonial architecture reflected the rising ambition of a young country. Georgian ideals came to New England via pattern books, and Georgian styling became a favorite of well-to-do colonists. 8
French Colonial French colonists in the Mississippi Valley built houses especially suited to the hot wet climate of their new home. During the early 1700s, French colonists settled in the Mississippi Valley, especially in Louisiana. Classical House Styles 1780-1860 Federal and Adam House Style Greek Revival House Style Tidewater House Style Antebellum Architecture 9
Federal and Adam House Styles 1780-1840 Graceful details distinguish Federal homes from the pragmatic Georgian colonial style. Like much of America's architecture, the Federal (or Federalist) style has its roots in the British Isles. It's easy to confuse Federalist architecture with the earlier Georgian Colonial style. Greek Revival 1825-1860 With details reminiscent of the Parthenon, stately, pillared Greek Revival homes reflect a passion for antiquity. In the mid-19th century, many prosperous Americans believed that ancient Greece represented the spirit of democracy. 10
Tidewater Style 1800s Built in coastal areas of the American South, these homes were designed for wet, hot climates. The main roof extends over the porches without interruption. Antebellum Antebellum means "before war" in Latin. The term Antebellum refers to elegant plantation homes built in the American South in the 30 years or so preceding the Civil War. Antebellum is not a particular house style. Rather, it is a time and place in history. 11
American Painting Four famous American paintings: The unfinished portrait of George Washington Marilyn Monroe American Gothic Three flags ROMANTIC and VECTORIAL ARCHITECTURE 12
ROMANTIC ARCHITECTURE "Gothic" windows with distinctive pointed arches. Exposed framing timbers. Vaulted roofs with crossgables. VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE The last true Victorians were constructed in the early 1900s. These homes combine modern materials with 19th century details, such as curved towers and spindled porches. 13
