Settled in 1630, Cambridge is one of the oldest cities in the United States, a fact that is reflected in the range of historic architecture that can be found in its older neighborhoods. Below are some of the most common traditional styles:
- Georgian. Distinguishable by their symmetrical proportions and rows of paneled windows, the oldest Georgian homes in Cambridge date back to the mid-1700s. Georgian homes remain popular due to their simple yet stately design.
- Mansard. Associated with periods of prosperity and affluence, the ornate style of Mansard homes peaked in popularity in the mid-1800s. Mansard homes typically feature iron details, shingled roofs, and decorative window frames.
- Queen Anne. Asymmetrical features, towers, and covered porches are characteristic of American Queen Anne style homes. Older Cambridge homes in this style were erected between the late 1880s and early 1900s.
