Question:

Do 1800's homes have those small rectangular windows right along the bottom of roof?

I was wondering what year range these houses were built. The house is large, three floors, with small rectangular(horizontal) windows that line the very top floor right under the beginning of the roof. Also has columns in the front porch. The house was built with a barn behind it as well. What year approx. would a style like this have been built? im guessing 1800's but early or late?

Answer:

Hi Sara, You might want to research Greek Revival Homes ( 1850s to 1900's) Greek Revival has columns as you stated. But also check into the early Victorian era. As time passes through the history of the owners,modifications were made along the way to the extent of what they needed.Also check at the roof line for details shown with Greek Revival for wood trim and the way to which it follows the structure.I think what you are describing is Greek Revival.
