Plans: Colonial House Plans

Colonial house plans are designed to reflect the architectural elements prevalent in America’s original East Coast settlements. They feature classic detailing and represent the style and design once used by our country’s founders while offering modern day amenities. These historical floor plans range in size, can be one or two levels and are usually a rectangular shape. In general, the two-story versions feature symmetry with centered doorways and a balanced arrangement of windows. They are constructed with multi-pane, double hung windows and the entry doors are accented with sidelights and transoms above. Low-pitched roofs, narrow or flared overhangs, dormers and entrances accentuated by tall columns extending up to the roof can identify colonial home plans. Economical in design, the roofline allows these historical house plans to have a spacious second story providing the same amount of living space on the second floor as on the first floor. Colonial house plans vary in style from the shores of New England to the southern swamps, but they are all generally finished with brick or clapboard siding and wooden shutters. Sometimes Dutch style home plans and Southern floor plans reflect elements of these historical designs. Colonial floor plans share similarities with Cape Cod house plans and Southern house plans.
