The 2 with the black shutters would be considered colonial.
Those are nice classic homes with tons of character. However, the property taxes would be outrageous.
True, I think there's really only one Tudor in the photos. Yeah, the taxes.
Those houses look like mini-castles. I was visiting relatives in France and their town had that same architecture, only smaller and much much older of course.
Wood deteriorates; stucco can last a lifetime.
I'm sure the ones in France have been around longer but those ones have been around for a long time too...maybe 1800's for some. Just guessing here.
When I think of wood, I think of fire and when I think of stucco, I think hot, desert...Vegas
. Brick just seems sturdy. My sister lives in a brick apartment building and when it rains, hails, or gets extremely windy, it's still so nice an quiet inside. In my current house (wood ciding...parti
al brick), I could hear everything.
Oh... I really like those brick houses too... Mpls and St. Paul in certain parts has houses like that... makes the walk around the neighborhood very peaceful.
I think they are in certain parts of most states. If you get to walk around a neighbor like that, you are so lucky! I don't live anywhere near those house in the photo anymore, unfortunately. Otherwise, I'd drive there a few times a year.
