veneer accents

Minimal decorative exterior detailing
The Minimal Traditional style is defined by simple exterior forms and a restrained use of traditional
architectural detailing. The Minimal Traditional house was immensely popular in large suburban
residential developments throughout the United States during the World War II and postwar periods.
The style had its origins in the principles of the Modern movement and the requirements of the FHA
and other Federal programs of the 1930s. Its open plan reflected the developer’s desire for greater
efficiency. Modern construction methods addressed the builder’s need to reduce costs and keep homes
affordable to the middle class. Conventional detailing appealed to conservative home buyers and
mortgage companies.
