Dutch colonial
Flared-eave American architecture
Dutch colonial describes an architectural style originating in the Dutch settlements of New York and New Jersey in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The defining feature is a gambrel roof—a barn-like profile with two slopes on each side, the lower slope steeper than the upper.
Revival versions from the early 20th century often added dormers and front porches: a charming Dutch colonial with original woodwork.
