Colonial 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. |
