Wake Forest College (now University) Birthplace 450 N Main Street, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Greek Revival Symmetry, use of columns, low pitched roof, front facing gable. The windows are similar to that of a greek revival. Inconsistencies: lack of large columns, no entablatures or dentils, very plain for its style. Neighborhood: The oldest and first house in the neighborhood (1820), it set the style for all of the other homes on the street. There are several Greek revivals and Georgian homes, so it fits in the neighborhood well.

222 Main Street, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Queen Anne Victorian Steep roof, multiple dormers, extensive roof ornate, entablatures, elaborate color scheme, decorative. Inconsistencies: normal shingles, gabled roof instead of turret, lack of gingerbread /vergeboards Neighborhood: This house is located in the historic district, and while there is only one other type of house like this on the street, its uniqueness doesn’t stick out.

702 Elizabeth Avenue, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Sears and Roebuck Home Has one chimney in the middle, symmetric, hip roof, one window on either side. Simple design. Inconsistencies: has a front porch with columns in the front of the house, add on feature not like straight from the box. Neighborhood: This is one of the nicer houses in the neighborhood as the rest of the houses are run down, which weighs down the property value. Stylistically identical to the rest of the houses.

235 N Main Street, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Georgian Has classic symmetry, the windows have large entablatures, the trim on the house is also consistent with a Georgian. Inconsistencies: Lack of another chimney on opposite side of the house. Neighborhood: This house is located in the historic district many other houses look similar to it, so it doesn’t stand out in a bad way. Holds its value in the neighborhood as one of the best looking houses.

238 N Main Street, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Greek revival Classic symmetry, has chimney on both sides of the house, the use of columns gives it the revival look. One window on either side of the door means its more Greek revival than American colonial. Inconsistencies: It looks like the house has undergone many renovations/expansions. Including the windows on the top of the house above the dentiling. Not many houses of this style would have siding or a modern roof which made it hard to classify. Neighborhood: The house is located in the historic district, so it fits in stylistically. The symmetry helps it fit in. It is the biggest house and most expensive on the street, currently on the market at over a million dollars. So it does hold its own in the neighborhood.

193 S Avenue, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Folk Victorian Has some inspirations from a Queen Anne type of house, with its large wrap around porch, and the front facing gables to the right of the house. The decorative brackets make the house look closer to a Queen Anne. Inconsistencies: The house is very plain to be a Victorian. The house and trim are both white, and the overall house is very ordinary, more like a farm house. Neighborhood: The house is located in downtown Wake Forest, it is one of the homes that needs a lot of work in order to restore it. Doesn’t look well kept, so it is one of the houses bringing down the value of the other houses.

215 N Main Street, Wake Forest, NC Photo Credit: myself Style: Craftsman Bungalow has a low pitched roof with a dormer, with 2 windows on either side of the door, wide overhang, and has a large porch. Inconsistencies: lack of brackets under gable or decorative wood used on the house. Neighborhood: The house is located in the historic district, it is one of the smaller houses in the neighborhood, but there are several other houses of this variety so it fits the old neighborhood well.

Saltbox Photo Credit: play.aspx?HomeID=97 play.aspx?HomeID=97 Style: Saltbox Traditional Salt box roof, symmetry in the front of the house. The simple trim and rectangular door frame make it a saltbox house. Inconsistencies: the roof looks like it doesn’t slope down as sharply as its supposed to, like the back of the house is larger than it should be. Neighborhood: Unkown

Modern Photo Credit: modern-house-plan-0-garage modern-house-plan-0-garage Style: Modern Irregular shapes, use of different materials such as concrete and stone, high pitched roof with windows underneath the roof. No inconsistencies with modern style. Neighborhood: unknown

Craftsman Photo Credit: Style: Craftsman Windows and front facing gable with different building materials on either side of the house (brick in the front and siding behind the house) make it a craftsman home. Inconsistencies: None Neighborhood: Judging by the house next to it, the house is probably in a newer neighborhood in which all of the homes look similar, so the house probably doesn’t stick out and conforms to the covenants on the land.
