are not


• Cross-gabled roof: porches are varied but the most common


with a gabled roof is partial-width


one-and-a-half stories with centered shed dormers;

with a break in slope; two- story structures have added, porches


porches are sometimes commonly


full-width


• Hipped roof: this subtype is similar


to Craftsman details


Further Details: Porch roof supports: columns for supporting the porch roofs are distinct and vary in detail; typically short, square upper columns rest upon more massive piers, or upon a solid porch balustrade; columns, piers, or balustrades frequently begin directly at ground level and


houses, which lack exposed rafters and


simple prairie other typical


extend without break to a level above the porch floor: piers or columns have sloping sides; materials for piers, columns, and solid balustrades include stone, clapboard, shingle, brick, concrete block, stucco, or a combination


Roof-wall junctions: junctions where roof joins the wall are almost never boxed enclosed;


roof has a wide eave overhang; along


horizontal edges the actual rafter ends are exposed, or false rafter ends are added (sometimes cut into decorative shapes);


Other details: Craftsman door and windows are similar to those used in vernacular prairie houses; gabled dormers are common with exposed rafter ends and braces; common wall cladding is wood clapboard and wood shingles; stone, brick, concrete block, and stucco may be used as well; secondary influences such as Tudor false timbering, Swiss balustrades or Oriental roof forms are also sometimes seen
