Cape Cod to the Core
A Cape is a Cape is a Cape... Isn't it? Sometimes it's hard to
tell. As I collected photos for our new Cape Cod Photo Gallery, I
was amazed at the the variety. The Cape Cod style has come a long
way from those little houses built by New England settlers. But
look beyond the sidelights, patterned brick, and other
embellishments, and you'll see - these charming homes are Cape Cods
to the core. Is your house a Cape Cod? Send us a photo! Photo: Cape

Reader Showcase: A Modern-Day Queen Anne
If you love Victorian architecture, a modern-day tract house just
won't do. But, what if you live in a community where everything is
brand new?
This reader hired a local craftsman to build a modern-day Queen
Anne. It's not just the turret and the wrap-around porch that make
this house seem authentic. The builder was able to incorporate a
beautiful oak staircase salvaged from an old church. Is your house
a Queen Anne? Send us a photo! More: Queen Anne Architecture Update

Reader Showcase: Small Victorian, Big Roof
You'd expect to see a tall mansard roof on a grandiose Second
Empire style mansion, but how about this Victorian cottage? In a
house this small, the only way to grow is up, so the owners raised
the ceiling and put in wooden trap doors to gain extra space. See
