Historic Manor Farmhouse - The Historic Manor Farmhouse actually encompasses many architectural styles from vernacular farm homes to southern classic revivals.  Characteristics of the Historic Manor Farmhouse architecture are expansive porches, lap and shake siding with stone and/or brick foundations and accents, gabled roofs and a rambling footprint.


 

French Country - The French Country style has a rambling footprint and use of substantial rusticated stone.  This style is an adaptation of the rural vernacular architecture of the French countryside and should not be confused with the more decorative "Beaux-Arts."   Characteristics of "French Country" homes are steeply pitched roofs with subtly flared curves at the eaves, commonly hipped roofs and a mixture of various veneer materials. 


 

Craftsman - The Craftsman style combines rustic textures, natural materials and rugged character. This style evokes images of mountain homes and lake cottages. Characteristics of "Craftsman" homes are lower pitched roofs with broad overhangs and exposed rafter tails at the eaves, common use of pergolas and trellises, front porches and tapered columns or columns on pedestals.
