Colonial House Plans

Colonial House Plans
Traditional Colonial house plans first emerged in the early 17th century. Stemming from European homes, Colonial homes had clean, simple lines and quality craftsmanship. Because of their popularity, many different regions took on their own version; for example Southern homes featured higher ceilings to stay cool, while Northern homes had lower ceilings to keep heat centralized. During the age of Victorian homes, Colonial style house designs disappeared. However, as America celebrated its 100th birthday, there was a revival. These homes have withstood the test of time and are sure to remain a fixture decorating America for many years to come.
