[quote=Anonymous][quote=Arlingtonian703][quote=Anonymous]The staging is all wrong. They put cheap Wayfair "contemporary" furniture into an American Foursquare style home...[b]which happens to have Greek-style pillars on the exterior which is also all wrong. [/b]

Location is great though![/quote]

[i]A full front porch with either greek or craftsman inspired boxed columns is another typical feature. Though often without the intricate detailing of the Queen Anne style, these porches were a prominent part of almost every Foursquare.[/i]

[i]Thus the iconic versions often feature massive stone porch columns, banding and other emphasis on horizontal lines, and low-pitched roofs with wide overhangs and exposed rafters.[/i]

[i]The Foursquare has served as the canvas for many revival styles of the 20th century: Late Victorian, Colonial, Spanish, Greek, to name a few. That's why you will often see Foursquares described by their styling. Many realtors and homeowners conflate the style and the form, assuming that they are mutually exclusive. But it is quite possible for a house to be a Foursquare and look like a Colonial Revival at the same time.[/i]

I'd wager those pillars are original to the house.[/quote]

OP. Right? LOVE.[/quote]
