The last photo of the Pittsburgh set definitely has Appalachian influences!

Nope. We Scrantonians are officially the "Sixth Borough" of NYC!

C'mon. Even though those houses are big, they're all too tacky/"new money" for the main line. Most of the houses around Bryn Mawr are big and rich, but not THAT big.

Highly varied. Tutor-style housing to Southern Colonial style, to doby houses, to brick buildings, to stone masonry....Cleveland seems to have similar housing style to St. Louis at least from my observations. Yes, Southern Colonial style exists above the Mason-Dixon line, hard as that is to believe...I used to live in one hehe, it's currently just over 40 years old.

I believe I snapped the shot of those houses on Gifford Avenue near Kennedy Blvd., close to Lincoln Park. They're the only two I've seen around in that style. The strange yet fun thing about this part of JC is that there is such a hodgepodge of housing styles. It's rare that one style even covers an entire block.

I miss the diverse housing I had in Georgia. Here is CT it consists of colonial in different variations and throw in an old contemporary every now and then.
