The Hull Historic District Design Guidelines - Town of Hull

Many houses feature elements from different styles. An example would be a Georgian
or Greek Revival house which has had a Victorian porch added, or a Mansard roof
addition. This was seen as upgrading to a more popular or fashionable style current at
the time.
Terms such as Eastlake and Gingerbread actually refer to spindle work or other
decorative ornamental detailing rather than a cohesive style.
There are alternative names for some styles such as Bungalow (for Arts and Crafts),
and more generic styles such as Folk Victorian.
Virginia and Lee McAlester’s book A Field Guide to American Houses is the best source
for further exploration of architectural styles in Hull Historic District.
