Cape Cod Plans

Cape Cod house plans are generally one to one-and-a-half story dormered homes featuring steep roofs with side gables and a small overhang. With bedrooms tucked on the second floor, Cape Cod homes are typically covered in clapboard or shingles and are symmetrical in appearance. Cape Cod homes are designed with a central door, multi-paned, double-hung windows, shutters, a formal, center-hall floor plan, hardwood floors and little exterior ornamentation. The Cape Cod house plan, with its roots in medieval England, has its American beginnings in the early 18th century as early settlers built homes along New England's stormy coast, explaining why this style may also be referred to as a New England house plan. The Cape Cod house plan and New England house plan experienced its Colonial Revival in the early 20th century. This home design is still popular today for its affordability and efficiency.

Useful information:
The most famous Cape Cod house is the Kennedy Compound at Hyannis, Massachusetts, where Joseph and Rose Kennedy and their family summered from the late 1920s including, most notably, President John F. and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. One of the best memoires I have ever read is all about another dwelling on Cape Cod: The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home by George Howe Colt. It's a lucid and loving portrait of people and the spirit of place. This kind of house - which became part of one family's history though several generations, is what many homeowners and developers still aspire to today, though usually on a much reduced scale.
