Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine some of the characteristics of the Colonial Revival house. Descriptive data on domestic interiors and architecture of the style including plans and photographs are presented. Comparisons of examples to a historic building type are offered, and adaptation to contemporary demands are noted. The hypothesis that the Colonial Revival house plan was often based on the double pile form with central hall and that much freedom was exercised in devising variations on that form is supported. Contradictions between interior volumes and exterior appearances are discussed.
