Although
this architectural style is common in Seattle as a whole, we don’t see too many
Dutch Colonials in Maple Leaf. Amidst a long block of small, plain, nondescript
houses on Northeast 85th, this one stands handsome, well-kept and
surrounded by green.
I
didn’t know the name of this style until I sketched it. Curious about what I
was doing, a friendly contractor working inside emerged. When I showed him some
previous sketches of neighborhood houses and said I was interested in the variety
of architecture, he immediately told me what style I was sketching.
Thank you for this post. I think this may be the pattern of my grandparents’ house, in the hills of rural Ohio; I have often wondered what it was. There were no others around like it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the post! It's a classic style that I see frequently but didn't know the name of until I sketched it.
