Shingle-style homes show continuous wood shingles covering the exterior walls and roof, creating a unified, sculptural mass. They often have irregular floor plans, asymmetrical façades, and prominent porches or balconies, reflecting an informal yet grand seaside aesthetic.
Originating in New England in the late 19th century, Shingle Style was a response to Victorian excess, favoring simpler ornamentation while maintaining a sense of luxury. It was often employed in resort areas like Newport, Rhode Island, giving wealthy homeowners a more relaxed, yet still elegant, retreat.
