Arts & Crafts / Shingle StyleVariants
Rambling massing, a shingle skin, and an era may be all these houses have in common; medieval, free classic, Norman, and suburban subtypes are evident.
Breaking High Style
Early examples, at once the first wave of the Colonial revival and the first truly modern houses, were experimental works by architects including William Ralph Emerson, H.H. Richardson, and Stanford White.
Tudoresque
Though McKim, Mead and White abandoned the Shingle vocabulary for a more classical one, good Shingle houses continued to be built into the first decade of the 20th century; many had distinctly Tudor elements.
Queen Anne Type
Most critics agree that Shingle style is a subcategory of the Queen Anne, with similar precedents and philosophy. With its vertical emphasis, this house is a Queen Anne wrapped in shingles.
Colonial Revival
Many houses more directly expressed the Colonial Revival with Palladian windows, gambrel roofs, or neoclassical massing and ornament. Both the early architect-designed examples and the last wave of suburban Shingle houses adopted such motifs.
