on the outskirts of downtown Raleigh down (south) Boylan and to a certain extent north Saint Marys on the right side there are a bunch of old-ish large 2-story houses... the same style house seems to be all up around Durham's downtown, and there are even maybe half a dozen here near Aberdeen's historic downtown as well

what the fuck is this style of house called pls kthx

federal?

I dunno that they're that old

I'm talking the ones that have like huge porches on the first floor and occassionally second floor balconies, probably hard wood floors inside

they are kind of blockish like the Federal-style houses I found pics of

let me see if I can find a pic of what I'm talking about

yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking, but I don't recall any of them having thatched roofs

I *think* American Foursqare may be the style I'm thinking of

I think I am defining a life goal
