ARCHITECTURAL STYLES FOUND IN NORTHEASTERN OHIO he following is a guide to residential architectural styles found in North- eastern Ohio. It is important to remember that houses cannot be catego- Trized like plants or birds, because buildings are a product of the prefer- ences and means of the builders. Stylistic labels are a way of looking at buildings, yet different ones have varying degrees of finish, from folk buildings that are suggestive of a style to full academic revivals. Much of Northeastern Ohio was built in a relatively short time-span of industrial expansion when mass- ing was dictated by narrow urban lots and few stylistic features were incorporated. Many turn-of-the-century buildings are really “types,” characterized by their shape and roof type (such as homesteads and American foursquares), but “wear” a few elements like porch posts and sash configuration from different stylistic peri- ods—thus one might see several of the same basic house on a street with one wearing Tuscan porch posts and a Palladium window in the dormer, while another has battered posts and piers and exposed rafter tails of the Craftsman style. Some houses also represent transitional periods when fashion was evolving, such as late Queen Anne style houses that reflect the transition from Victorian to Colonial Re- vival features. Vernacular or Folk (to present) Characteristics often include: Simple Little stylistic detailing Typically gable-fronted or side-gabled Classically Inspired Federal (1780-1820) Based on Roman prototypes; sometimes called “Adam” after the English designers, the Adam brothers. Characteristics often include: Smooth brick finish with fine joints Lintel-type window heads Low pitched roof Three-over-six or six-over six double-hung sash Doors often have fanlights or transom
