Colonial Style Home Building Kits In Massachusetts

Centuries ago, when English settlers first began making their homes in the Northeast colonies, they often built compact homes. These were easy to heat and stood up against even the harshest winters. The style of the homes, dubbed the Cape Cod, featured a central chimney, steep pitched roof for shedding snow, and cozy rooms with exposed timbers overhead. Almost four decades ago, Country Carpenters launched with a vision to preserve this colonial aesthetic. “We began to offer New England style post-and-beam pre-cut barn kits,” says Roger Barrett Jr., owner of Country Carpenters. “The barns captured the flavor now lost in lots of today’s buildings.” The company’s vision led to the introduction of Early New England Homes by Country Carpenters.

Did you know, technically, a house built after 1700’s is not a Colonial? Rather, these homes are classified as Colonial Revival or Neo-colonial. During the 1700s, early settlers of North America incorporated the architectural styles of their native countries when building their new homes. The styles that arose include Georgian Colonial, Spanish Colonial, German Colonial, French Colonial, and Dutch Colonial. The first floor of the classic Colonial floor plan conveniently includes the kitchen and family room. The second floor consists of the bedrooms. Typically, colonial homes were built with central chimneys and multiple flues. This was so fires could rise and heat multiple rooms on each floor. Front doors are often located in the center of the house with evenly spaced double-hung windows and side-gabled roof.
