The Mystery   |  Reader Responses

From Bobby:

There are a few homes very similar in my early 20th century neighborhood in Baltimore. The shape, massing, porch roof, window placement (fenestration) and roof shape are generally Colonial Revival. It has Arts and Crafts influences, like the brackets, and is very beautiful.

Your interior sounds like the best of all worlds - Colonial Revival, Tudor, Arts and Crafts. My neighborhood was built during this time and I have found that both exteriors and interiors, especially, are a mix of styles. A lot of houses are Arts and Crafts or Tudor on the outside and Colonial Revial on the inside, which is not surprising here in Maryland.

Your house, it seems has a touch of the Prairie in the low, wide pitch of the porch roof..
