Traditional Wood Doors

The Traditional motif includes a variety of early American architectural styles such as Colonial and Plantation. Often stately and symmetrical, Traditional styles originated from the more elaborate Georgian-style homes built in England in the 1700s, or French Colonial designs of the late 1700s and early 1800s. They became the rave in both New England and the southern colonies of early America. Design elements include a rectangular symmetrical shape, a wood panel door at the front center of the exterior, decorative moulding around and crowning the entry, a large brick chimney or paired chimneys, a medium pitched roof with minimal overhang, symmetrical paned windows, French doors, and sometimes stately Greek columns surrounding expansive porches with balconies above.
