Farmhouse Plans
Farmhouse style plans are as varied as the regional farms they once presided over. Farmhouse style plans are similar to Country style designs in the emphasis on woodsy informality though they derive more specifically from 19th century farmhouses. Farmhouse style plans bring to mind an old-fashioned sense of home with the family gathered around the hearth or the kitchen table -- now usually an island or eating bar. In contrast to ranch style houses, which are usually one story, farmhouses are usually two-story. Wood-frame construction and finishes, gable roofs, and generous porches provide a homey feel to Farmhouse style home designs, allowing the house to fit into a wide variety of settings. Farmhouse floor plans are usually square or symmetrically shaped, sometimes with side wings. Farmhouse designs often include deep and wide wrap-around front porches with spindlework and brackets. The typical large farmhouse footprint is well suited to large lots and examples of farmhouse style homes can be found in most regions of the country. The farmhouse plan is now used in urban areas as well, and is ideal for homeowners who would like to experience an informal country lifestyle.
Quick: what springs to mind when I say "quintessential American farmhouse"? I bet it's the farmhouse in the famous Grant Wood painting American Gothic. The Gothic Revival or Carpenter Gothic style wood-framed house used in the painting is real, in Eldon, Iowa. You can see it on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2007-06-04-Gothic_House.jpg). The strong simple outline of the porch, the graphic shape of the gable window, and the crisp light-catching board-and-batten siding make a very compelling image so it's easy to see why Grant Wood chose it for his backdrop. A good recent reference is The New American Farmhouse by Jean Rehkamp Larson (Taunton).
