Dentil Details
Like many houses, this one combines a variety of types and styles. But the predominant flavor is Craftsman & Bungaloid - the wide, deep eaves, the low, flat dormers, the flaring of the second floor out over the first. The detailing under the eaves has a bit of an Italianate character to it. Isn't it amazing how different styles and types can be combined and still be successful?
From Alan Durham:
The term 'American Foursquare' refers to the house type (floorplan), not an architectural style (exterior details). Your early twentieth-century American Foursquare is typified by four public rooms downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs. Judging by the photographs you posted, your house appears to be a foursquare house type. Unfortunately, due to the removal and alteration of original exterior detailing, determining the style of the house would be difficult without historic photographs.
From Lana J. Hunt:
Roy, I do believe this to be a Four Square house. And I have seen other houses just like yours. I lived in one for several years. There was flared sides to my home and ornamental work with wood beams and molding but not as fancy as yours.
