HOME STYLES

It's been a while since I described a particular home style. There are a number of Colonial Revival style homes in the Azalea District of Tyler Texas. Here are the main distinctives of this lovely architecture:


Symmetrical façade
Rectangular
2 to 3 stories
Brick or wood siding
Simple, classical detailing
Gable roof
Pillars and columns
Multi-pane, double-hung windows with shutters
Dormers
Temple-like entrance: porticos topped by pediment
Paneled doors with sidelights and topped with rectangular transoms or fanlights
Center entry-hall floor plan
Living areas on the first floor and bedrooms on the upper floors
Fireplaces
