Colonial style house plans are still popular

Colonial style house plans are loved by many Americans, because it is was created in our country, and was one of the first styles in the civilized new world, evolving from logs and stone to man made brick. The emblem of an eagle placed proudly on the gable end, signified their freedom

The first European settlers used whatever materials were available to them, which was mostly logs and stone, however, as the 13 colonies became more settled, they built homes that were heavily influenced by the techniques and styles from England, as well as traditions brought by settlers from other parts of Europe

A colonnade decorates the front porch, and sometimes they reach to the second level. The homes could be wrapped in red brick for the most common look, but you may also see them with siding
