Ing the phase of the classic revival in
England which took place during the
reign of Queen Anne. The principal
difference between this colonial style
and that from which 1t was adopted
was in the use of wood rather than
stone az a building material. The resi-
dences In the various colonies each had
characteristics peculiar to the tastes
of the people In these colonies, but the
basic features of all were traceable TO
an origin in Old World ideas. The rich
English subjects, especially in Mary
land and Virginia, alone, built of brick.
Their estates were modelled after those
found in England at that time. Their
manor houses were surrounded with
extensive grounds bordered with high
brick walls in which elaborate potes
were built. The high-ceilinged rooms

Even the finest of the New England
houses were built of wood. Because they
were less extensive in their arrange

appearance Of the houses built IT. the
southern colonies, but they were, new
ertheless, picturesque. The type, which
is familiar TO all, was that of the large,

than that, great many early colonial
houses were actually partially built in
England, the parts being sent over the
ocean bodily to be framed into the

1t was nearly century after the
successful colonization of America had
begun that attention became directed
TO architectural Development. The be-
ginnings Of American architecture date
back to the early part of the eighteenth
century. The early English colonists
held closely to frame construction, but
some brick houses were built In the
southern and Dutch colonies.
