Walkable Suburb

How Well Do You Know Your House Styles?

One of the great things about the architecture in our walkable suburbs is its diversity. Whether you prefer a Mid-Century Modern or Tudor cottage you’ll find it in Essex County.

Many styles of house are not pure in form – more often they overlap in style or are a hybrid of more than one style. Craftsman homes, for example, frequently have other elements, such as Craftsman-Colonial, or Craftsman with Mediterranean influences.

Test your knowledge of the architectural styles of houses found in and around Montclair with my quiz below. See if you can tell what the style is from the pictures shown (all photos in each example are of the same style), and then click on the photos to discover if you were right! These are all from Montclair and Glen Ridge- bonus points if you can name the town!
