Houses built after 1900 with the characteristics described as follows have been designated as being Colonial Revival style. A basic characteristic feature of this style was the accentuated front door with a porch supported by slender columns. Doors often had overhead fan or transom lights with sidelights, and windows contained double hung sash with multi-pane glazing in one or both sashes. As the 20th century advanced, windows were grouped in pairs of even units of three.
The Ernest L. Neville house on Hudson Lane, Monroe, [figure 43], was erected as a two story house with a dominant front gable with a multi-paned Palladian window, complete with keystone. The half-porch is full height with a railed balcony and Doric columns.
The circa 1914 James Harvey Trousdale house, [figure 44], on Hudson Lane is Colonial Revival in detailing, but the dominant, nearly square, configuration resembles that of a 19th century Louisiana raised cottage. Note the full story height raised basement area with the broad entrance steps.
