I do not like this style house but they did use the double peak concept in the opposite direction of the main house.....another photo follows this to show how they did it.

Prairie Style Home

Mind the scale. A big addition can easily overwhelm an existing structure. So rather than create one large block, break it into pieces that relate to and don't overwhelm the existing structure (see next photo)

But the Prairie Style didn't last but a few decades. Whether it was the nouveau riche of the Roaring '20s or the despair of the Great Depression, America turned to the safe and secure, the tried and true. It was time for the Colonial to take center stage. But these aren't the colonial houses of 200 years earlier. Though the outward appearance is one of Colonial America, the interiors are the open plans and comfortable spaces that Americans demanded of their houses.

A 1940s-era neocolonial with a slightly extended 2nd floor, similar to the design of America's oldest Colonial home, the Parsons Capon House in Massachusetts. This home was expanded to the back to maintain the simple, symmetrical front.
