Early American House Plans

Early American home plans fall under the same category as Colonial house plans, taking architectural guidance from European homes as well. With a boxed shape, flat front facade and symmetrical design, their simplicity is their trademark. In the beginning, the shutters were a functional element, however they have stayed a part of this design adding decoration. A centered front door typically opens to a central stairway surrounded by four living areas. The ease of style and design keeps Early American homes high on the popularity scale.
