American colonial

We are getting so close to modern present day architecture. I’m excited.

By looking at the structures that were built during the American Colonial era, we can already see a gist of the architecture that is present in America today. I can say that all the houses that we’re built during different time periods of that era look familiar- they all look like houses that ive seen in movies. For instance, (1700 – 1860) French Colonial- this style looks like it was featured in that movie “Interview with a vampire” or for the (Colonial Revival period : 1876 - 1955), it looks like houses that ive seen in that other movie “home alone”, that I’m sure you are all familiar with. The houses classified under the neoclassical look like the houses that are always being featured on that TV segment cribs.

My personal favourites from these different styles are federal, Colonial revival and Builder's Colonial / Neo-colonial, for the obvious reasons. They are the most “polished” and luxurious looking, compared to all the styles but it is also clearly seen that it had loosely borrowed ideas from the past. For example, their temple like entrances, and the use of shutters seen were, well we can say, “Inspired” by Colonial Revival houses.

These styles were adapted for contemporary lifestyles, evolving and improving along with the progress and the advancement of America.
