The Preston McNall house is a good deal smaller than What these two houses demonstrate is that good designers could take the same basic elements and use them to produce comfortable, even graceful houses that, while very different in scale, are instantly recognizable as belonging to the Colonial Revival style. Partly this is a tribute to the style itself, whose design elements lend themselves to use on different scales. Mostly, however, it is a tribute to the study of proportions that was a major part of the training of architects prior to World War II. The difference this makes can be readily seen when visiting any of the new Colonial Revival suburbs being built today. Preston McNall was a professor at the UW when his house was built. |
