1900's
These homes enjoy 2-story with Utility basements, attic storage, gable-roofed deep front porches with turned millwork and fretwork. This example offers "L" shaped wrap around porch, hipped roof, rather than flat, often standing seam metal construction fewer fireplaces, usually 2 per chimney, in 2 separate stacks "bumps out" outside of rectangular footprints, would have caught breezes, also created much brighter interiors and easier to decorate room sizes than Row houses of the same period.
Size and Shape
Lot sizes are generally more square than their Fan counterparts
Floor plan/layout by floor
Hallways usually wider than Fan counterparts, sometimes enough so that they can be furnished. First floor powder rooms occur less often under the stairs, making their appearance in the rear kitchen/pantry areas. Fireplaces can appear on interior walls Root cellars, rather than full basements usually host mechanicals and or laundry, though modern renovations relocate laundry functions on first or second floors 'trunk rooms' above foyer, often renovated into Master bath typical 2-window plus entry format seen in the Fan, but entry is more typically set back from the front plane, creating an 'L'-shaped front porch, capable of catching more breezes.
Porches are more often deep enough for furniture groupings, as due to a greater-than-swing's width depth. Single story porches. Gabled roofs, with significant pitch, often standing seam metal or slate shingled. Wooden, clapboard siding Still oriented narrow end to the street. Built individually, on unusually large lots for their locations. Enjoy more light from side of building 'bump outs', as well as more interetsing design options than one experiences in the 'In-town' counterparts. City occurances usually appear within 36 blocks of City center, usually on or near corners, in well established neighborhoods.Exciting paint schemes, and lavishly detailed, with occasional references to the highly adorned Queen Anne style before it
