Nashville Colonial
The Colonial style home is a symbol of American patriotism and a need for simplicity. Colonial style homes are sometimes referred to as salt-box homes due to their resemblance of early American salt containers. Prominently rectangular with a symmetrical facade, the Colonial house was a popular house style from the late 1800’s into the 1950’s. Colonial style home plans are generally 2 to 2 ½ story homes with a very simple and efficient design. This architectural style is very identifiable with its very simplistic rectangular shape and large columns.
