Colonial styles date back to the 1600s, when European colonists began settling in North America and brought with them architectural influences from home. The most popular colonial house plans feature design elements from England, but the Dutch, Spanish, and others also left their mark across the land. The Georgian and Federal styles are subtypes of the colonial genre, along with Cape Cod, Spanish Mission, and many others.
Colonial homes are traditionally either two or three stories tall with rectangular profiles and symmetrical facades. These homes have steep roofs with gables and classical design elements like pediments and columns. Colonial homes are traditionally built with wood, stone, or brick—whatever was available in the area.
Colonial homes in America are generally characterized by a square or rectangular facade with a central entrance flanked by symmetrical windows. Inside, you'll find traditional layouts with formally defined rooms around a central chimney that serves multiple fireplaces. Colonial homes are typically built with wood, stone, or brick and usually have uniformly sized doors and windows with shutters for consistency across the whole facade.
