This style of architecture was also popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, meaning that, although it was not the predominant architectural style being used at the time of the Revolution, it was common among houses built in the centuries leading up to it, for the most part in New England. They were based off of the New England Colonial style, but adapted to better suit America. These houses were usually 1.5 stories, with the common hall/parlour layout. They typically had clapboards on the exterior, hardwood floors, and shutters on the paned windows. These houses were more symmetrical than the New England Colonial houses, though they typically had the same gabled roof.
this actually looks a lot like a modern home, but i don't know how you can have one and a half stories haha. but this was a great post and it was very entertaining. thanks :)
