Garrison Colonial

This is a sub style of the Colonial Revival,  especially in the last phases (1935-1955).  
The cantilevered second story is typical of this style.

Most Garrison Colonial houses have these features:
overhanging or cantilevered second story
often, with some sort of ornamentation underneath the 
all wooden siding or brick and wooden siding on the second  floor

Versions of this house style have re-emerged in the suburbs of the 1980s and beyond, which we call Suburban Garrison.
