Mississippi House Styles

Meanwhile in Mississippi, the Governor's Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal recently published a hefty report that's flying off the shelves. A Pattern Book for Gulf Coast Neighborhoods is packed with photographs, diagrams, and plans to help residents design their homes and their communities. The graphics-heavy 72-page PDF file is slow to download, but it's worth the wait. Even if you don't live in Mississippi, you may want to look at the section on regional house styles.
