Colonial Home PlansColonial style house plans are inspired by the practical homes built by early settlers in the American colonies and elsewhere, which were based on Dutch, English, French, and Spanish precedents. Colonial style home plans generally feature a welcoming center stair hall with living room on one side, dining room on the other, and kitchen and private rooms at the rear. These practical, family-friendly plans make entertaining a special pleasure. Typical Colonial style features include classical exterior styling centered on a columned entrance portico, sidelights and fanlights, and multi-pane double-hung windows with shutters. Exteriors are generally wood or brick. George Washington's Mt. Vernon is the most famous example of an original Colonial house, though it also represents the Plantation style of building.
