these are all 18th and early 19th century examples from my hometown, Sainte Genevieve, Mo. All small, to be sure, but charming!

Here are some taken from Scranton's Green Ridge Historic District during December 2006:

It's probably not because they don't like Scranton per se,but that their computer freezes up from all the huge pictures

I actually really like the stucco houses in the Southwest and parts of Florida. A lot of new subdivisions I've seen around Las Vegas, Miami, and in Southern California are really pleasant with the large stucco homes, palms trees, and a nice swimming pool in the backyard.

we have about a gabillion of these in Fl....... its called California contemporary..... I HATE this style!


This is the "normal" style down here for newer homes. Kind of cookie cutter/fake but I guess it's more pleasant looking than some of the other newer suburbs and at least the construction quality is decent.
