Hi all,

Just bought this house and wondering what style architecture it is.

I'm guessing Colonial... but what type of Colonial??

Well it is neither Spanish Colonial (neo-Spanish)
nor American Colonial (stylistically characteristic
of America earlier than 1775.) You could call it
American Practical.

From a great distance, the house looks like a bungalow that was updated
once or more in the past 130 years. (Is the front porch enclosed with
sliding glass doors?) It may well have had exterior colonial details
that were lost during one of its 'upgrades'. If so, they may have been
greek revival.

At this point, labels aren't going to be meaningful. But if you insist,
maybe 'Yankee Eclectic'?

I close today!!

Any other ideas??

Thanks,
Gus

What difference does *that* make? Do you have to have a label to put on it
before you can close?

Any other ideas??

Just one: stop obsessing over pigeonholing the style as neo-this or
retro-that, and just enjoy your new old house.

Sheesh.
