French Eclectic Home Plans
The
French Eclectic style was popular in both the United States
and Los Angeles beginning in the 1920s and continuting through the 1940s. The
French Eclectic style is characterized by tall, steeply pitched, hipped
or cross gabled roofs, stucco or stone wall surfaces with minimal trim
details, and often is elaborated with flared eaves, conical towers,
and occasionally half-timbering.
The French Eclectic style became popular
as one of the Eclectic Revival styles of the 1920s, and
was intended to mimic the design of small manor houses and farmhouses
of
northwest
France. It is likely that part of the popularity of this
design is attributable to the many American servicemen stationed
in France during
World War I. The French Eclectic style can often be found
mixed with the English Cottage, English Revival, or Tudor Revival
styles.
The front elevations
of our French Eclectic 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.
Each of our French
Eclectic house
plans including those featured here can be customized to your specific
needs. Our Plan Alterations department
can alter any of these plans to make it the perfect home for
you.
