Whether drawing upon Georgian, <br />Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually <br />symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, <br />sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and <br />frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds <br />and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights <br />in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have <br />wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). <br />EXHIBIT 1 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />cm\\historic\templates\Spurgeon 819 (Wehrly House) <br />12/20/01 <br />25F-6 <br />
