What style house is this?

11 months ago

Hi. We are buying this 1905 house in central Texas. I assumed it was a craftsman style house; however, others are saying that it might be a farmhouse style house. Any thoughts?

    Did an image search and Google AI suggests this " The architectural style of the house in the image is likely a Colonial Revival. Colonial Revival homes, popular in the United States from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, often feature a symmetrical facade, a gabled roof, and evenly spaced windows. The house in the image exhibits these characteristics, along with a porch with columns, which is also a common feature of Colonial Revival architecture. The house may also incorporate elements of the American Foursquare style, which was popular during the same period and is characterized by a boxy shape and a hipped roof. "

    Looks like a Bungalow Style too.

    I think most colonial revivals were 2 storey maybe bungalow sort of. Why do you really care if you love the house .This was my 1905 house and I never worried about what style it was but we loved that house the inside was contemporary but we embraced the exterior as it was it suited the neighborhood and the lot.

    Thank you. I really don't care what style it is, just curious really.

    It resembles the American four square houses found throughout the south. In the south they are usually one story homes with wide central hallways that run from the entry to the rear of the house. In the south they usually have two rooms on each side of the central hallway (which is usually rather wide). Kitchens would be located in the rear often times in some kind of added on room.

    Very nice house and the porch ceiling would be gorgeous in light blue.

    It's a bit Craftsman and a bit Low Country IMO.

    The front porch was an add-on. I just noticed the trim on the window was cut to fit the porch beam. Not a big deal for a house of this age. So visualize without the porch for the original style. Cottage?
