Colonial Architecture - Homes, Churches, Schools, Shops, Public Buildings

The first photo in this compilation video is a fine example of the Federal style of colonial architecture; a genuine antique built in 1740. It's followed by over 130 examples of Homes, Churches, Schools, Shops, and Public Buildings that exemplify the architecture of colonial America. Some are genuine antiques and others are modern, faithful renditions. Most colonial period architecture originated in Europe, like the Tudor style, French Provincial, and Dutch Colonial styles. The Cape Cod style, or "Cape" may have originated here in Massachusetts, for example, but this video is intended as inspiration rather than a historical perspective. Other styles from the colonial period are Victorian; English Farmhouse (or any farmhouse, really); the Garrison, which may have originated here but probably didn't; Bungalow; Saltbox; Townhouse; Craftsman style, which kinda speaks for itself; and the grandeur of the Georgian style and the Southern Colonial, to name a lot. There are many variations of each architectural style, which can make it difficult to classify some homes and buildings. Beyond the basic shape, one of the deciding factors is the roof style. The basic Gable roof is found on the Federal, Cape, and Garrison, for example. The Gambrel roof distinguishes the Dutch Colonial. A Mansard roof can be found on several styles, though it originated in provincial France. The Saltbox is recognized by its Shed roof (AKA "Catslide") and is sometimes combined with the second floor overhang of the Garrison. Tudors, French Provincials, and some Farmhouse styles will incorporate a Catslide roof. Federal Colonials can be found with a Hip roof instead of the basic Gable. There are Dormers, common to Capes, and Full Dormers typical of Dutch Colonials. Other distinguishing features are the entrances, doors, windows, and porches. There will be Center Chimneys, Twin Chimneys, and four matching chimneys on the larger Federals, Georgians, and Southern Colonials. A common entrance treatment is a Fan Light or window over the front door. The fan motif is also carved into wood and other designs of scrollwork are used. Doors are almost always made from solid panels, giving them the 3D, raised and recessed appearance. Windows may be Casement type, but Double Hung are most common. Double Hung windows usually have many small panes of glass, like 6 panes over 6, 9 over 9, 12 over 12, or some variation on that theme. Bay Windows create additional floor space. The Bow Window is a modern interpretation of that and does not extend to the floor, giving the illusion of more space. Half-timbering is a construction technique used in the Tudor style. It is a post and beam structure that creates the outer shell and the open spaces are filled with either wood framing, stone or brick with a Stucco exterior, leaving the timbers exposed inside and out. Modern construction will usually imitate the Tudor style by tacking boards onto the outside of the home. With all architectural styles, other features tend to be more ornamental and also help define the style.
