Another name for this style is the four-over-four because of its basic rectangular floor plan of four rooms on the lower and upper levels. |
Since
this house has remained popular over the decades, its date of construction
can only be determined by minor details in the building materials, such as
1920s-1930s reddish brick on the
foundations, driveways with two cement
lanes separated by grass,
and the
width and height of garages. |
