Identifying Cape Cod, Colonial, Victorian, Craftsman, Tudor, Ranch, and Modern Home Styles
Residential architectural style classification identifies a home style by a defined cluster of formal features (roofline, massing/symmetry, window treatment, porch/entry configuration, and characteristic materials) that co-occur and originated within a specific historical period and regional tradition.
