Architectural Style: Federal
1780-1840
|
After the
revolution, this was America's first national style. The symmetry of the
Georgian style is retained but the central entries may now have a fanlight with
flanking sidelights. The details become lighter, including mouldings, trim and
mullions. Semi-circular or rectangular porticos are common. Some have a third
level and many have a higher elevation above the ground than earlier styles.
