Defying the ornamented architecture trends of the time, simple Shingle style house plans came into limited-edition fashion from 1880 and 1900 in the wealthy seaside resorts of Newport, Cape Code, the Hampton's of Long Island, and coastal Maine. Deliberately rustic on a grand scale, typical two-and-a-half story Shingle style house designs invite relaxed, informal living that is ideal for vacation homes, families, and individuals who want to feel like they're "summering" all year long.
