While a few of the beams are often visible on the exterior of Timber Frame homes (reminiscent of 19th-century European designs), when you step inside, you'll see the much more majestic difference. Heavy, squared timbers - the skeleton and structure of the home - are not just visible but integral to the style. Rising to the ceiling and spanning the rooms, the frame supports the home and creates an impressive image. Fewer load-bearing and partition walls are required, allowing rooms to flow together as large as you wish, giving you many, many layout options.

Ornamental and visually stunning, the Victorian style home came into popularity in the late 1800s. Victorian style houses tend to be large and irregular, featuring rounded towers, turrets, steeply pitched and complex roof lines, and a multitude of bays and roof elements at varying heights. Multiple porches or balconies provide quiet places to sit quietly or visit with the neighbors. Every opportunity to add decoration is taken, with turned posts and spindles dressing the porches and elaborate brackets and bargeboards under the eaves.
