Difference from American Modern Farmhouse: Pillars are not Gables

A house that is clearly an estate and not a modern American farmhouse. Modern American farmhouses feature steep double-pitched gables, black-framed windows, white vertical board-and-batten siding, and a simple front porch. The estate main house, in contrast, has a gently sloped roof with large eaves, a facade dominated by a row of equally spaced white round columns, balconies encircling the entire house, and tall, slender double-hung windows paired with operable louvered shutters. Its face is a colonnade, not a gable. Avoid: using steep gables and black-framed windows, making the front porch a small section only at the entrance, using vertical board-and-batten siding, or letting the facade lose its symmetry.

一棟明顯是莊園而非現代農舍的房子。美式現代農舍是陡峭的雙斜山牆、黑框窗、白色垂直板牆、一道簡單的前廊;莊園主屋相反:屋頂坡度平緩而且大面積出簷、立面由一排等距的白色圓柱主導、陽台環繞整棟房子、窗戶是高瘦的上下推拉窗配可開闔的百葉護窗。它的臉是柱廊不是山牆。避免:使用陡峭的山牆與黑框窗、把前廊做成只有入口的一小段、使用垂直板牆、讓立面失去對稱。
