Classic Cottage

The Classic Cottage is basically a one-story version of the Foursquare. It features an elongated hipped roof with central dormer, and front porch with thick porch posts or round, simplified Doric columns supporting the porch roof. Popular between 1910 and 1930, the style was most commonly used in residential architecture, although occasionally seen on schoolhouses, train depots, or small institutional buildings. Building materials were almost always masonry, particularly brick, with a few rare wood frame examples. Ornamentation is generally limited to window surrounds and flared eaves on the dormer.

Here are some designated landmarks in Longmont that are representative of the Classic Cottage style.
