REALTOR® Magazine recently put together a list of the most popular residential architecture styles. One of my favorite architectural styles is Neoclassical, which is seen in this fabulous listing at 7036 Whitemarsh Ct in Charlotte.
From the REALTOR® Magazine article, Guide To Residential Styles, Neoclassical is described as follows.
A well-publicized, world-class event can inspire fashion for years. At least that’s the case with the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which showcased cutting-edge classical buildings that architects around the country emulated in their own residential and commercial designs. The Neoclassical style remained popular through the 1950s in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses. Its identifying Ionic or Corinthian columned porches often extend the full height of the house. Also typical: symmetrical facades, elaborate, decorative designs above and around doorways, and roof-line balustrades (low parapet walls).
