Home Plans
The
Colonial style home has roots in rural English architecture. Brought
to the new world in the 1600's by Puritan settlers, and following
Puritan beliefs, these homes were humble, uncomplicated and straight
forward. Also known as "English Colonials", these
homes typically consisted of a central fireplace surrounded with
two to four rooms on the main level with a similar layout on the
upper level. Clapboard siding and small casement windows helped
to reduce heat loss. Shingled roofs were steeply pitched to
shed New England's winter snow fall.
The front elevations of our Colonial styled home plans reflect these time
honored elements, while the floor plans incorporate modern design features
and amenities for the way we live our lives in this century. |
