Neoclassical
As evidenced by the most famous home in the country at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Neoclassical homes draw motifs from classical Greek and Roman architecture, including symmetrical facades, Palladian windows, and Greek columns.
Prairie School
Another product of the Arts & Crafts movement, these types of houses appear mostly in the midwest. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House, seen here, embodies the horizontal lines and “organic architecture” of the movement.
Queen Anne
A subset of the Victorian house style, Queen Anne homes feature dramatic gables, overhung eaves, wraparound porches, parapets, and ornate decoration. They were most popular in the U.S. between 1880 and 1910.
