More Southern Living House Plans
If you are from the South, you know exactly what the older style houses look like. The older ones are more than 100 years old and have large majestic gables, very high ceilings, and wraparound porches the whole way around the home. Southern living house plans are large with tall ceilings with pitched or gabled roofs. Something called a ‘dormer’ is also very standard, which is a window that juts out vertically from the roof.
These large homes are much like the ones found in old movies such as Gone With the Wind, built around the civil war era. Nearly all are 2-story, with very high ceilings to accommodate the humid climate of the South. A wraparound porch is almost standard because this supplies shade to all parts of the home during the summer, as well as giving a place for the dogs to cool their heels.
