Dutch Colonial Revival

Dutch Colonial Revival

Revival architecture from the late 19th century onward, loosely based on the Dutch Colonial prototypes described previously, including a gambrel roof, flared eaves, Dutch doors, and multipaned double-hung windows. Revival houses often retain many of the characteristics of their prototypes, but differ significantly as a result of modern additions such as a gambrel roof with dormers, wood shutters having decorative designs cut through the shutters, and cross gambrels.
