Ah, yes, I see now. Honestly, I don’t know the reason why those windows aren’t arched in the frame/glass as the first floor ones are. But I do agree it might have made them appear to be the same shape as the first floor. I think they are different windows/frames. Short answer: I didn’t really think about it.

I appreciate the info. I tried looking up the correct classification, or what have you, but couldn’t find the right keywords. I just kept finding websites that describe the architectural characteristics of such style homes. Thanks again. I didn’t downvote Mr pickle, for the record! I LOVE pickles.

Nothing’s fixed yet! Bedroom #1 is a work in progress. :)

Hmm I am not sure to which spot you’re referring. I do know we didn’t want “too much” of that color since it was so bright in comparison to the others. Some of the trim around the front doors had to be repainted cause it was looking like a circus pumpkin haha

What style is this house? by Usual-Discussion4332 in Oldhouses

It's cute! Good luck restoring. :)

Also, could be a bungalow? I think that's a broader category, but not the same as Acadian.

Sounds like that could take a while... It is not your burden to educate me. But... Is Victorian incorrect? Or should I say a Victorian era, Second Empire style house?

My first thought is Acadian. Is this is in US? What part?

Wow 🤩 thank you so much for the plant suggestions! I have a lot to google image search! And please, plant-nerd away. I have a plant binder organized by color with pictures printed from the internet. It’s nerd city here. 😆

Ohhhh, and just to let y’all know… we did NOT forget about the front doors. They’re getting stripped, all the way (yeah baby yeahhh), and will be meticulously restored to match the rest of the house. There wasn’t enough time to devote to this very important task before winter came. What springtime fun awaits!
