It's easy to confuse Federalist architecture with the earlier Colonial style. The difference is in the details: While Colonial homes are square and angular, a Federal-style building is more likely to have curved lines and decorative flourishes.
Their roofs are Low-pitched or flat with a balustrade, windows are Circular or elliptical and decorative pillars and moldings.
While this exact style is not often built today, elements such as the columns and arches are encorporated into modern day homes.
Built to love and built to last.
