What Are Colonial-Revival Style Homes?
Learning your way around New Jersey architecture
Invited Guest Contributor :ERICA PUISIS
. 
This style is known for its mixture of elements. Key colonial features such as simple layouts, symmetrical window designs, and gabled roofs are combined with ornate Victorian features, such as intricate detailing, porticos, moldings, and large windows. In summary, Colonial-Revival style homes mix the simple symmetry and structure of the colonial style with the fanciful taste of Victorian-era architecture.
Front-gabled or side-gabled roofs, hip roofs, and gambrel roofs are all seen in this style, emphasizing its diversity. The varying rooflines give this style a wide variety of styling. Two-story colonial-revival homes are among the most common features.
. 
Windows are multi-paned and are often decorated with shutters or pediments, as are the doors. Unlike simple colonial designs, these shutters and pediments are often fancifully decorated with cutout designs or carvings. Small porticos and pillars are seen at entrances, and ornate moldings and detail work dress up the simplicity of the original Colonial-style home.
Interiors are made up of distinctly divided rooms and often feature a central staircase similar to colonial designs. The style lends itself to a traditional interior design. It is widely found in New Jersey homes. Easy to resell and convenient to decorate- this design remains a popular choice throughout the state.
