Farmhouse Plans

The American farmhouse style is a result of a combination of architectural styles including Colonial, Greek Revival, Victorian, and Cape Cod. The eclectic nature of the farmhouse style stems from far-reaching roots as the style spread across different regions of the United States. Early farmhouse examples were simple structures with additions as families expanded and modern conveniences became increasingly available. Today, farmhouse-style house plans can be seen in both urban and rural settings, traditionally characterized by clapboard-sided structures with steep roofs, wide porches, and dormers.
