Anyone here knowledgeable about architecture?

[PhineasJWhoopee]

I agree. My thought - it looks like a variation of a Foursquare with some prarie/craftsman elements, but lacking a lot of the details associated with either of those styles. I'd imagine whoever built it incorporated a some contemporary midwest style of the period, but it doesn't seem to be overly definitive of any one of those styles, really I think it's open to interpretation. Either way it's a neat house, looks really nice.

Quick side note - does that downspout running down from the porch roof cause you any drainage problems? Might want to run that away from the house.

No, no problem with downspout. I'm going to add gutars to the whole house. Few houses have them here, which is odd to me.

There are a few houses here that are similar. I'll take some pics.

Love your house, I was always a fan of early american architecture. It sucks because everything out here is Spanish mission style, bleh.

Yes, I'm interested in architecture; I like old homes. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on the topic.

That would be great. I'll PM you tonight.

He wouldn't happen to be of Vandelay industries fame would he? I believe they are in latex.
