A house is a single-unit residential building.

- 5. Greek Revival
iStock
Dates: 1825 to 1860
Features: Pedimented gable ends, portico or full-width porch with classical columns, 6-over-6 windows with pediments.
Americans, newly enamored with Greek democracy, built civic buildings that looked like Greek temples. The fashion for columns and pediments seeped into residential architecture as far as the most rural farmland, popularized through pattern books by Asher Benjamin and Minard Lafever.
- Federal

Dates: 1780 to 1820
Features: Symmetrical facade; 6-over-6 double-hung windows with shutters; paneled door with elaborate surround (pediment, pilasters, sidelights, and fanlight); dentil molding or other decoration at cornice.
Based almost entirely on the English Adamesque style, the American Federal (or Adam) style took its cues from ancient Roman architecture. This was the first style of the newly formed United States, and it had a place in nearly every part of the country—particularly in bustling urban areas like Salem, Massachusetts, where this former This Old House TV project is located.
- Georgian
Alamy
Dates: 1700 to 1780
Features: Symmetrical facade; double-hung windows with nine or 12 lights in each sash; paneled door with pilasters, transom lights, and sometimes a pedimented crown; brick in the South, clapboards in the North; dentil molding at the cornice.
American Georgian architecture is based on earlier European styles (not the British Georgian style of the same period), which emphasized classical Greek and Roman shapes. Georgian houses could be found in every part of the colonies in the 18th century.
- Saltbox
Alamy
Dates: 1607 to early 1700s
Features: Steeply pitched (catslide) roof that reaches to first story in the back; massive central chimney; small windows of diamond paned casements or double-hung sash with nine or 12 lights.
Most saltboxes existed in and around New England. Their steep roof pitch is a holdover from the days of thatching, but early settlers learned that wood shingles were better at sloughing off snow and rain. Few original saltboxes survive, and many are museums, like this house in East Hampton, New York.
- 1. Log Cabin
iStock
Dates: up to 1850s.
Features: Log walls; one- to three-room layout, sometimes with a center passage (called a dogtrot).
The earliest settler houses went up quickly, using the most abundant material around—wood—to protect against the harsh weather. Log cabins were common in the middle Atlantic colonies, like this Appalachian house.

- Home ownership provides a common measure of prosperity in economics.
- Commemorative plaques may mark such structures.
- Houses of particular historical significance (former residences of the famous, for example, or even just very old houses) may gain a protected status in town planning as examples of built heritage or of streetscape.
- Thus, a vast and elaborate house may serve as a sign of conspicuous wealth whereas a low-profile house built of recycled materials may indicate support of energy conservation.
- Houses may express the circumstances or opinions of their builders or their inhabitants.
- A more systematic and general approach to identifying houses may use various methods of house numbering.
- Individual houses sometimes acquire proper names, and those names may acquire in their turn considerable emotional connotations.
- With the growth of dense settlement, humans designed ways of identifying houses and parcels of land.
- New houses in the UK are covered by a National House Building Council guarantee.
- When purchasing a new house the buyer has different legal protection than when buying other products.

- They include the zero-energy house, the passive solar house, the autonomous buildings, the superinsulated and houses built to the Passivhaus standard.
- Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as Avara.
Avara is the home to some of the most innovative web3 brands: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Sonar, and now Family, all building towards a people powered internet that benefits all.
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Family. With Family, led by Benji Taylor, we're reinforcing our commitment to making web3 accessible through world class product design.

- Development of a number of low-energy building types and techniques continues.
- Last chance at @lens/ethglobal İstanbul to mint your @lens/fini
- Housing produces a major proportion of carbon emissions (studies have shown that it is 30% of the total in the United Kingdom).
- In the developed world, energy-conservation has grown in importance in house design.
- Though not in wide use, these methods frequently appeal to homeowners who may become actively involved in the construction process.
- Lesser-used construction methods have gained (or regained) popularity in recent years.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- These newer products provide labor savings, more consistent quality, and possibly accelerated construction processes.
- More recently, builders have begun to collaborate with structural engineers who use finite element analysis to design prefabricated steel-framed homes with known resistance to high wind loads and seismic forces.
- Today I’ve received the @KeystoneWallet that the team kindly sent to me to try out!
I love the personalised back they made for me 😍
I will be testing it to see if it’s a good fit to replace my travel wallet (currently a Ledger)
Will be doing a thread review soon!
- Autumn is a beautiful season 🍂
- The original impetus was to use the labor force inside a shelter during inclement weather.
- First small inside rooms framing, then later, whole walls were prefabricated and carried to the construction site.
- Prefab techniques became popular after World War II.
- Sears, Roebuck & Co. first marketed their Sears Catalog Homes to the general public in 1908.
- In the early 20th century, some house designers started using prefabrication.
- while most British and many European houses use stone, brick, or mud.
- For example, a large portion of American houses use wood,

- so whole towns, areas, counties or even states/countries may be built out of one main type of material.
- and often tradition or culture govern construction-materials,
- More generally, people often build houses out of the nearest available material,
