House Style

[fett7]

I was also wondering if someone could help me identify style of my house from attached photo or also if it maybe just a builder's house as well. Built in 1890 its a 2 story with pitch of roof taking away space on 2nd floor. Kitchen was added on to back of house some years later.

Some of the details in the house, the panel doors, the trim on ceiling in front room remind me of some periods, but I'm not really sure.

I'm interested in doing some renovations, and would like to stick to period if possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

What you have is a traditional bungalow that was probably built between 1920 and 1950. The West Coast in general and Seattle (where I live and work) in particular is full of them. You could Google traditional bungalow and find lots of examples. It does appear as if it has been added on to in the past.

It looks to me like it might be a "Sears Modern Home" The Dayton model which they sold between 1933 and 1940. The architectural writer on About.com has some excellent articles on the bungalow style. You might try looking over her stuff. http://architecture.about.com/
