US East Coast house models

[Happy Times]

Im planning my own house and the old style of some of the houses found especially in US East Coast, looks very nice to my eye. The ones with large porches and windows, often painted white. If someone knows good sources or has themselfs, photoraphs and/or blueprints, i would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks. Its close to what i mean, i dont care for the towers though. And the size would be 1 or 1 1/2 high, instead of full 2. Dont know if you use the same terms though.:hmm: What im looking can be found in places like Marthas Wineyard and Long Island, i think..

I don't know about houses, but East Coast girls are hip. I really dig those styles they wear.
