Architecture: Dutch Colonial


New York was the main region for this type of architecture, which was popular from the 17th to 19th centuries. Brick was the typical material used for Dutch Colonial buildings. The roofs of these buildings were usually gambrel and/or had wide, flared eaves, often said to look like a barn because of this. Like Goergian buildings, there were usually chimneys on either side of the building.
