What do you call this house style?
Comments (20)Thanks for everyone's help. It is a rare style here where I live in PA. I'd still love to see a picture of another one if any one has one. Not as run down as mine was, I hope. I originally thought I got in way over my head when I bought the place. You would never believe it! Holes in the plaster. Some simply covered with sheets of luan and left over scraps of paneling. (I don't know where it came from, but it wasn't this house.) Although it now has four functioning bedrooms, three with closets upstairs, when I moved in it only had one. We also have a bath and a half now, but are working on making it two fulls. The downstairs bath didn't work when we moved in. The downstairs bedroom was originally a sitting room and we are carving a closet out of the storage/ washroom/ bathroom that is attached. We actually tore out a large ugly pantry that was built into the corner of the kitchen and built one into what was the doorway to the washroom. We had to put doorway into the store/wash/bathroom from the bedroom. Luckily there was one there that had been covered up. That might explain the odd door in the upstairs closet we found. Believe it or not, that thought just occurred to me. HaHa. It has a small eat in kitchen that originally had no cabinets, just a one basin sink with a rust rotted metal base. We have made a lot of progress considering we have tried to use as much recycled material as possible. It would seem easy to find, but not here! We did get lucky with a set of old farn house cabinets that were abandoned in an old school. The people stored them and then left the state. The cabinets had to go somewhere. Better my kitchen than the landfill. We had to replumb the whole house, have a new well drilled, install a water softener, and rewire everything as we go. It was a total disaster! No wonder I got it so cheap. LOL. Sometimes I think the joke was on me. But after putting so much work into this little home, it's kind of growing on me. It is changing the way I look at home ownership. I have learned that a house can teach you, too. I have a few photos, but they are on film and I don't have a scanner, but as soon as I finish the kichen drywall(hopefully sometime this weekend, I will start a new post with some pics. This has been a real job. I haven't hired anyone to do any of the work. Thank goodness for a step-dad that is a contractor and can take care of making sure we pass code, and a mom that's an engineer. They have saved me from more mistakes than you could imagine. We have a simple rule. Fix first what needs it worst....See Morewhat architectural style would you call these two homes?

Comments (2)Does moving the door correct some internal traffic problem? Because adding a deck across the house is going to make all the lower rooms dark—those windows won't get any light to speak of. I would not expand the deck further than the edge of the big window, which would only cover one lower window. Below I show what you can do with plants alone. Place a tall growing shrub in the middle section with no windows. Place a medium sized shrub to the left and right of the tall shrub, centering all of these between the lower windows. Fill in between these with perennials, ground covers or low-growing shrubs. A border will define the bed. You could also add another tall shrub to the right corner to soften it. Visit a local nursery to ask about the best plants for your climate and soil. Pay attention to how wide a shrub is expected to be at maturity. Don't plant a shrub that will grow 5' wide closer than 3' to a wall, fence or walkway. Initially, your planting will not look like my picture. It takes time for plants to grow. Look for perennials that don't grow taller than 24" so they don't obscure the lower windows. Finally, if you haven't already done so, enclose the side of the stairs and deck with lath or trellis work....See More- 3 years ago
