House 1
Greek Revival. See the first floor front windows and those in the gables;
there's Greek Revival trim. The rather steeply pitched roof is a confirming clue.
House 2
The house is Greek Revival, the ell Colonial. The sidelights (by the front door)
are Federal in proportion. Still, it maintains a remarkable unity.
House 3
Though the fronts of such houses are quite symmetrical, "anything goes" in the
gable. These windows are quite regular in spacing (not always true), but of
several sizes. The front windows are lowered, perhaps to accommodate a porch at
one time. This is a frequent reason for having lowered windows. The doorway is
Greek Revival and the windows are far apart enough to allow shutters, so there
probably was some updating (before the Civil War!) on the front. The road is
pretty old; but did this once face the water rather than the hillside?
House 4
It seems to "hug" the ground and has no overhang; it faces south, not the road.
The nearby barn is an 18th Century design (Its door is in the side, not the end).
The house's "newer" part (Greek Revival, 1830-1840) faces the road and has a
roofline quite different from the ell.
House 5
Colonial. In Greek Revival times (about 1830-1840) someone updated this by adding
at least new trim above the windows. Without moving the windows down. It became necessary to put
the trim up into the narrow soffit.
House 6
This is a definitive Greek Revival front and roofline. The ell, built before, at the same time, or after,
is in Colonial style with simpler lines and little roof overhang. It has been acceptable to make the ells
simpler than the "main house".
