Houses like this?

Not really a "design dilemma" but I'm wondering if any one has a home like this?

This picture is a Eatons catalogue house which our home was probably based on. Although ours isn't exactly the same plan, and not a kit house, the general look is the same. It is a very modest "craftsman" and I'm wondering if there is a style that describes it better. It has no fireplace or stained glass. Oak floors and 12 inch baseboards on the main, fir floors upstairs. The mouldings are simple. Three rooms on the main floor, plus kitchen addition and 4 and a bath upstairs.

We have a lot of inspiration, and would love to restore the exterior. Someone "ruined" the front in the 70s with aluminum windows, shutters and soffits, and wide vinyl siding over the cedar shakes and original plank siding. All the houses here have had their porches covered, that might be original.

Does anyone own a house similar? Or what style is this? It was built around 1910.

    Your home is what is called an "American Foursquare." Check out this article on the history of the house: http://www.oldhouseonline.com/articles/american-foursquare

      One main difference from my house and the Eatons house is the window jutting out and our house used to have more corbels. There are two other houses like ours in our neighbourhood and they have the corbels.

      I agree. I'd consider that an American Foursquare. There are many variations of that style.

      It does really have the plain and practical sentiments of the Foursquare, but would a Foursquare be without a hip roof and dormers? Really it's even a more plain foursquare!

      I don't think it's a perfect fit for the Foursquare category, but I can't think of any other style that it's closer to.

      We used to own one like that. Very close match to the Eatons Ealing house. Ours was 1ft narrower but the Eatons houses weren’t kits. they were blueprints and a railcar full of lumber so each owner could customize all thethey wanted during the build. One thing that made it stand out is there should be a small cantalever on the right side with a dormer roof. Many similar houses have a dormer, but many fewer have the cantalever bumped out. What really sealed it for me was looking at the eatons floor plan, seeing it had a front vestibule and the looking closely at our house to find faint outlines in the plaster where it had been repaired after vesitbule walls were removed.
