American Foursquare

Picture
This is the most common vernacular form of Prairie style, known as an American Foursquare. These are simplified Prairie houses (though occasionally with elaborate facades and porches), named "Foursquare" due to its characteristic boxy shape and four rooms per floor. They are typically two-and-a-half stories with a large, central dormer. They often include a full-width front porch and four-room over four-room floor plan.
