colonial mansion
Grand historical residence
A colonial mansion is a large, stately house built in or imitating the architectural style of America's colonial period—typically featuring symmetrical facades, columns, shuttered windows, and brick or clapboard exteriors.
The term evokes both historical wealth and a particular aesthetic: The colonial mansion sat at the end of a tree-lined drive.
Such homes appear frequently in the American South and Northeast, often as preserved landmarks or expensive residential properties.
