Post I give up. What style is my house?
This is my wonderful new house. I had nothing left to do on my 1929 Tudor Bungalow, so have taken on this 1925 cutie. <br> <br>http://www.ofoto.com/PhotoView.jsp?UV=440630587319_17660653703&collid=48231460503&photoid=63685571603 <br> <br>I consider myself pretty architecturally savvy, but I'm stuck! It's rectangular (almost square), 2-1/2 stories of stucco over terra cotta brick. Sort of a Cotswald Cottage feel. But the fan light and door trim are a bit Georgian-federal-colonial revival, as are the half-round windows in each gable end. <br> <br>But there is an exterior integrated archway with iron gate at the end of the sunroom, and an arch with iron trim in the interior stairway -- English cottage again. Just to make things interesting, there is a large stained-glass window in the stairway. <br> <br>Ideas, anyone? <br> <br>

It is a cutie...and congratulations! I'm stumped and I work with architects! It's something like a four square lacking gables with a federal twist but I'm guessing it's one of those odd hybrids where they couldn't quite decide what it was supposed to be - colonial, cottage, tudor, or whatever so they'd put in a little of all of the above - pretty popular in the 20's. Have a "funky" one myself and love it.
