The Colonial Revival Style, a gesture to the domestic architecture of the period leading to the American independence, emerged from the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The references range from Dutch Colonial with gambrel roof to the dignified simplicity of the rectangular two-story American Foursquare. The typical material is horizontal wood siding. The plain lines of the symmetrical plan and facade may be broken by dormers, shutters, a balustrade, and a single story entry stoop. Simple classical details found on the exterior may be more extensive inside.
