Buildings in this classification are usually characterized by a façade often featuring a Classical cornice; cupola; widow’s walk; colonial detailing; bevel siding or a smooth brick wall finish with fine joints; brickwork often set in a Flemish bond pattern; splayed lintels; a hipped, gabled, or gambrel roof covered with slate tiles or wood shingles; louvered shutters; double-hung rectangular sash windows with multiple panes in both the upper and lower sashes; symmetrically arrayed windows in the façade; a fanlight over the main entry door and sidelights on each side of door; the front door commonly crowned by a pediment, extending forward and supported on columns so as to form an entry porch.
