Distinguishing Features
Cozy, rustic, and romantic these homes became popular in America from 1915-1945 when returning veterans brought this picturesque style back home to the Mid Atlantic, Midwest and southwest to Dallas. Usually featuring a massive stone chimney, a mixture of stone, brick and half-timbered siding, Norman home floor plans can be built as a small cottage or expanded to provincial castles with arched doorways set in imposing towers.
Symmetrical Facade
The symmetrical facade provides a sense of solidity and permanence. While the windows often double hung or casement with small leaded glass panes allow light to stream into living and bedroom areas as well as the charming circular turret.
