Colonial house plans are the home designs common in the original thirteen American colonies (and those that were settled soon after). Examples of Colonial house plans range from simple—think divided Dutch doors and dominant, central chimneys—to grand—picture Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Early American house plans, federal house plans, and Georgian house plans all fall under the umbrella of Colonial house plans.
The Colonial house plans being built in America today are actually part of what's called "Colonial Revival," which was first seen around 1880, and grew rapidly after World War I. Most Colonial house plans possess a more or less flat, symmetrical facade with double-hung, shuttered windows and a prominent front door. A simple, boxlike shape prevails in this style, which is varied by porches, bay windows, and flat-roofed additions at the sides or back.
