Traditional Selections From The Andersen Style Library
Identifying architectural styles is traditionally accomplished by looking back in time to see what style movements have emerged over the years. Traditional architectural styles have come from many periods & places. Whether you’re trying to create a new home in a specific style or match an existing one, having the detail to make it authentic is important.
Here are three of the more popular traditional styles today: American Farmhouse, Cape Cod and Craftsman Bungalow. Find additional styles in the Andersen Style Library.
American Farmhouse
First emerging in the Midwest in the mid-1800s, the American Farmhouse style ranges from small, simple structures to more elaborate homes bordering on Victorian. Our American Farmhouse is a modern interpretation of this classic home style.
Cape Cod
Although it has English roots, the Cape Cod style home is distinctly American. It evolved in New England from Colonial style houses in the early 1700s, primarily in response to the availability of materials and the area's harsh, stormy climate. Our Cape Cod continues this early tradition of being simple and modest.
Craftsman Bungalow
The Craftsman Bungalow home is one of the most common house styles that emerged from the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 20th century. Shallow pitched roofs, exposed rafter tails and a mixture of materials like brick, shingles and siding are all telltale characteristics. Our example is a 1-1/2 story bungalow variation that first appeared in the early 1900s and remains popular today.
