Federal style, 18th century.
Low stone foundation.
Hipped roof line.
2-4 chimneys.
12 over 12 windows.
Roman style entrance way.





My dream house...




EDIT: By the by, the middle photo is the house where Washington established his HQ during the Boston Siege 1775-76.
He had good tastes!

Do you have a Historical Society where you live?




The existence of one would preclude me ever owning something like that.

As a tilesetter I get to spend time in all types of homes. Many owned by wealthy people. They all have things I like.

Modern/glass/concrete stuff is cool. As is craftsman. FLW kinda combined the two, love that look.

I live in a simple ranch with a basement. With no tile.

This.

That stark modernist look is home to me.  I grew up in a very modernist house, designed and built by my dad. Filled with classic mid-century modernist furniture - Barcelonas, Wassilys, Saarinen Tulips, as well as assorted chairs and furniture by Eames, Richard Schultz, and Harry Bertoia.

I have that, just without the massively formal entrance. House proper is five twelve-over-twelve windows on top, four on the bottom in front with a center door, red door, pewter grey cedar wood siding and white trim and triangle pediments over each window. Hip roof, two chimneys with two flues each, fireplaces in both the formal Federal living room and informal "keeping room" family room, the latter with a 40" firebox faced with reclaimed 18th century brick. Cosmetic "breezeway" to double carriage-house garage with carriage doors and a cupola atop it.

Floorplan is 19th century, even though it was built in the 80's by apparently a VERY good architect. I love it.

Tradition. Nothing like sipping a sherry in that formal living room while it's snowing outside, the room lit only by firelight and candlelight, reading the very documents the founders wrote and read before they created the country.
