Country One of the most popular architectural styles in the United States right now is traditional country. Typically, country-style home plans combine several traditional architectural details on their well-proportioned, cozy facades. Look for porches, gables, lap siding, shuttered windows, and dormer windows. A country-style home's nostalgic look lends it enduring appeal. Picture a home in a Norman Rockwell painting and, inevitably, you’ll be imagining a country-style home. Perfect examples are also found in New England and the South.
