Common Design, Construction, or Architectural Types

Victorian Architecture

Victorian homes are highly decorative and exhibit numerous stylistic influences. Dating from the 1870s through 1900, around the time Colorado became a state (1876), these buildings feature an unusual combination of elements and are among the oldest homes in Colorado. Details from the Queen Anne, Gothic, and Italianate styles were borrowed most often, combining to create a maximalist façade.

Some of Longmont’s oldest homes have elements of the very flamboyant Victorian style, most of which are located in old town Longmont near Main Street.

Classic Cottage Architecture

The Classic Cottage is a one-story version of the Four Square style. This style was popular from 1910 to 1930 and it features an elongated hipped roof with central dormer, and front porch with thick porch posts or round, simplified Doric columns supporting the porch roof. The style is most commonly used in residential architecture. Building materials are typically masonry (brick), with a few rare wood frame examples.

Four Square Architecture

One of the most commonly found styles in Colorado residential buildings after 1900, the Four Square is easily recognized by its square plan and overall simplicity. The typical Four Square is a two-story with minimal decoration. Occasionally, a Four Square will feature a shaped gable or will be larger with more elaborate ornamentation. But, in each case, the basic square plan can be seen.

Contemporary Architecture

As time goes on, the fads change. Both new and traditional features might be used by contemporary architects. Currently we are seeing a generous use of glass, asymmetrical features, repurposed building materials and smart home technology. The “work from home” era has also led to a focus on outdoor lighting, open floor plains, convertible living spaces to make living and working at home more enjoyable.
