Assignment #5 Housing Styles

Housing Styles





Tudor 
-The Tudor house is one of the most easily recognizable architectural styles in the world. While the style has been popular in England for centuries, the Tudor revival in America began around the turn of the 20th century. Most of these homes were lavishly built by the wealthy, although many of the homes from the latter part of the 20th century are quite modest.

Neo-Classical(Greek Revival)
-The Neoclassical Revival style is defined by a commanding facade with a full height porch, its roof supported by classical columns. The columns are often fluted and the capitals are usually ornate Ionic or Corinthian. Like the Colonial Revival, which is comparatively simple, the Neoclassical Revival is also symmetrical with its entry centered and flanked by a balanced array of windows.

Queen Anne
-A style of architecture and furniture reviving elements of Queen Anne design, popular especially in England in the late 19th century.

Bungalow
-A low house, with a broad front porch, having either no upper floor or upper rooms set in the roof, typically with dormer windows.

Ranch/Split Level
-Ranch-style houses peaked in popularity by the 1960's, when middle-class families were settling into suburban areas. The style of home provided space needed for growing families to live comfortably. Ranch-style houses were one of the first in American history to begin attaching garages to the family home.

Prairie Style
-This Frank Lloyd Wright design was to be available for the average person. Note wide overhangs, hipped roof, and bands of casements windows.

Colonial Revival(Georgian)

-This 20th Century Georgian demonstrates a symmetrical facade (spoiled only by the attached garage). Note the front door surround with it's suggestions of pillars. Front door features sidelights. This style lacks a central chimmney.

International School
-This house "floats" on pillars and is an exercise in geometrical lines and space.

Cape Cod Style
-Note the large central chimney, gabled dormers, and shingled facade. The front door uses wood trim to hint at classical pillars.

Colonial Revival (Dutch)
-Gambrel roof with front shed dormer. This house was available by mail order from Montgomery Ward in 1927.

Neo-Eclectic
-This contemporary house features a Palladian window motif, decorated font gables suggestive of a Queen Anne style, and a front porch.

Assignment #3 Field Trip Blog

Feild trip summary-
On the field trip, the first place we went to was the James J Hill House on summit ave. We talked about when it was built and who built it. We went on the tour for 90 minutes and stopped and talked about each house. Then we ate on the bus. We went to the International Market Square and walked around. We looked at all the different rooms and all the stuff.


Summary of James J Hill House
The owner was James J Hill. The James J Hill House was designed in 1887 and completed in 1891.James J. Hill lost the vision in one eye in a childhood bow-and-arrow game. His formal education ended at age 14 when his father died and he took various clerk jobs to help his family.The huge basement of the Hill House contained servants' quarters, a kitchen featuring a dumb-waiter (to bring food to the dining room above it), laundry, boiler room, and hand-pumped bellows for the 1,006-pipe organ in the skylit gallery above. The floor is inlaid marble.The two-story gallery was built for Hill's magnificent art collection, consisting mainly of Barbizon School of mid-19th century landscape papers. Retractable iron grilles on the windows and doors provided security for the collection and the family's other valuable possessions. Much of the art collection was later given to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, which Hill helped found in 1915.

 

Summit Aves Summary-

Rich people lived on Summit Ave. Queen Anne and Greek Revival were the most common house styles on Summit Ave Summit Avenue is a street in Saint Paul, MN United States, known for having a number of historic houses, churches, synagogues, and schools. The street starts just west of downtown Saint Paul and continues four and a half miles west to the Mississippi River where Saint Paul meets Minneapolis. Other cities have similar streets, such as Prairie Avenue in Chicago, Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, and Fifth Avenue in New York City. Summit Avenue is notable for having preserved its historic character and mix of buildings, as compared to these other examples, and it remains a well-preserved example of a Victorian residential boulevard.^[2]
Summit Avenue is part of two National Historic Districts and two City of Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Districts. The National Historic Districts are the Historic Hill District, The history of Summit Avenue dates back to the early 1850s, when Saint Paul was in its infancy. Mansions were starting to appear on top of the hill in the earliest days of the city. An 1859 photograph by Joel Whitney shows six houses on the hill. Edward Duffield Neill owned the first house on Summit Avenue, in a location now occupied by the James J. Hill House. My favorite house was this queen Anne on the left.

Assignment #2 ; 4 Homes Of The Life Cycle

 

 

 This house is for abolescents because it fits my family members. Right now I am 15 years old and I’m currently living with my mom. This house is a good fit because me and my mom don't need much room to maneuver around. Our house is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, 2 level home. I feel like the house I am living in right now is a perfect example of the physical and psychological needs that I need for this stage in my life. It provides me with shelter, safety, food, privacy, and also love and belonging.

This home is for my young adult years. It's a town home and I would love to live here because it's not to small but it's not too big. It's cheap enough for when i am in my young adult years. This is an option for me to live in when I get a little older around 20-30's. This house will be able to meet my physical and psychological needs because it will provide me with shelter, safety, and sleep.

 
When I turn into my late 30's and early 40's. More for my middle years. I am going to live in a warm state preferably Las Vegas. Some of my family live there. This house would be perfect because by this time I would want to have a set family. This would fit my physical and psychological needs because it provides me with everything I would need to live my life at this age.

 

  When I get older, maybe in my 70- 80's. The life cycle for this house would be senior citizen. Ill want to live close to family and close to my home town because that's where I will feel more comfortable. This would be a town home again. Town homes are cheap and a bit bigger than apartments. you get a little more privacy than apartments also. This will fit my physical and psychological needs because it provides shelter, food, safety, and everything I need when I become a senior citizen.
