Style
Art Deco
- A popular design style of the 1920s and '30s characterized by bold outlines, geometric and zigzag forms, flat roofs, metal window casements, and smooth stucco walls with rectangular cut-outs.
Beaux Arts
- Beaux Arts is an eclectic neoclassical style. Colossal masonry buildings are highly ornamented with garlands, flowers or shields. Its identifying Ionic or Corinthian columned porches often extend the full height of the house.
Bi-Level
- The bi-level house is a modified version of the ranch house, with the major difference being that the lower level is more out of the ground than in the ground. Seldom is there a basement. Entry is often to the center of the house, with the foyer being split between the lower and upper levels. The lower area will frequently consist of a built-in garage and a storage area.
Bungalow
- Typically one large middle dormer, and porches with big square columns that are larger on the bottom. Bungalows are usually 1200 square feet or smaller. They were built with 2 or 3 bedrooms in a row on one side of the interior floor plan, a living room-dining room combination, and a kitchen and pantry opposite the bedrooms.
Cape Cod -
1 story dwelling with a high-pitched roof and dormers allowing for the half-story finished area. It usually has a full basement. Principal rooms such as the kitchen, living room, bath, and two bedrooms are found on the first floor. Additional living area, usually bedrooms, will be found in the upper area. A full shed dormer increases the story area to a 1-story dwelling.
Colonial
-Two-story home with a symmetrical façade. The main roof ridge will run parallel to the street. The main entry door is in the center of the façade, and windows are symmetrically placed on either side. The second level will have its windows symmetrically placed around the door as well. Additional wings might be “tacked-on” to the house proper. Bedrooms are typically on the second level.
Contemporary -
A dwelling style that is somewhat unique in structure. It is usually custom built with any variety of story heights from 1 to 2, varied rooflines, and is a structure given to open living with many combinations of the traditional room layouts. Large overhangs, split and drop floor levels, large amounts of fixed glass, and unique wood and stone facings typify these homes. The roof may be traditional, shallow or steep gable, flat, hip, mansard, or a unique combination of these.
Cottage -
A one-story house, small in size, typically does not exceed 1,000 square feet in size and will typically be around 700 square feet in size, with almost square dimensions. This residence style has a low roof pitch with either a gable or hip roof. The interior is simply finished and it may or may not have plumbing, electricity, or heat. There are only 4 rooms in most cottages: the living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bath.
Country
- Typical country homes have a front porch, dormer(s), and a roof ridge that runs parallel to the street. The most notable characteristic is a large front porch with an open rail. “Dog-house” dormers are frequently on the roof. The exterior material is usually clapboard siding.
Dome -
Factory-built in which building materials are factory-cut to design specifications, transported to the site and assembled. Typically lightweight, domed frame covered with wood, plywood, glass or aluminum.
Farmhouse / Country
- The main difference between a country house and a farmhouse is that a farmhouse has a wraparound porch. The porch wraps around the home. The roof ridge runs parallel to the street with or without dormers. The roof pitch breaks to a shallow pitch at the porch. One main roof covers the main body of the home. The exterior material is clapboard siding.
Federal -
Generally symmetrical and boxy. They have center entrances on the front and rear, evenly spaced windows, gable roofs, and end chimneys. Red brick is the most common building material. Doors often have sidelights and fanlights and whatever is going on the right side of the façade is echoed on the left. Double-hung windows with shutters are common, as is a certain amount of restrained classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows
International
- The American form of Bauhaus architecture. Bauhaus buildings have flat roofs, smooth façades and cubic shapes.  Colors are white, gray, beige or black. Floor plans are open.
Provencal -
French style houses usually have brick with detailing in copper or slate.  Windows and chimneys are symmetrical and perfectly balanced. Defining features include a steep, high, hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; rectangle doors set in arched openings; and double French windows with shutters. Second-story windows usually have a curved head that breaks through the cornice.
Rambler / Ranch
- Single level home with a low pitched roof that runs parallel to the street. These homes tend to be long and narrow, with the longest dimension-facing front. There are usually three bedrooms, a kitchen, 1 or 1 baths, and a living room. Porches may or may not be present.
Raised Rambler / Ranch
- Similar in appearance to the normal Ranch. It is considered to be a 1-story dwelling and usually has three bedrooms, a kitchen, 1 or 2 baths, and a living room in the first story area of the residence.  The major differences between this style and the normal Ranch style is that the basement walls are usually elevated four feet or more above ground level with full-sized windows, and the basement level is used as living area which is usually finished similarly to the main level.  This area is recorded as Finished Basement, which is valid only for the Raised Ranch and the Split Level Building Styles.  Also, it usually includes a basement garage. This building style is commonly referred to as a Bi-Level, High Ranch, Split Entry, or Split Foyer.
Spanish -
Spanish inspired houses usually have a low-pitched roof, red roof tiles, little or no overhanging eaves, stucco siding, arches, especially above doors, porch entries and main windows.  May also have Spiral columns and pilasters, Courtyards, Carved stonework or cast ornaments, Patterned tile floors and wall surfaces
Split Foyer
- Offers one full level (upper), which is the living level with living room, dining area, kitchen, bedrooms, and baths. The lower level can be finished for bonus areas.
Split Level
- Style is similar to the Raised Ranch in that it utilizes space in the basement as living area.  This area is recorded as Finished Basement, which is valid only for the Raised Ranch and the Split Level Building Styles.  It normally has living area on 3 or more levels. The story height of a Split Level residence is typically 1 story with an occasional 1 or 2 stories.  It frequently has a basement garage with living quarters above it. Kitchen and dining areas are usually a half level above the garage and a half level below the bedrooms and bath.  Usually the levels are side by side but they can also be front to back.  These levels are accessed by a half flight of stairs as opposed to the full flight found in most other styles.
Townhouses
- Townhouses are multiple single-family dwellings of varied style, which are typically 2 stories in height and share common walls.  They generally have frame construction and have been built subsequent to 1950.  These differ from condominiums in that the land is individually owned.
Tudor
- These homes lavishly feature stone, ornate chimneys, half-timbering, thick walls, dark interiors, and steep rooflines.
Victorian -
Gingerbread detailing is the key element. Most have multiple rooflines with varying roof pitches.  Some have octagonal turrets (towers). The exterior is always clapboard.  Latticework and decorative railings are often used.
