Plus the style of a 1600s house would have been very different than that of the Old House, which was pointed out back when we discussed what sort of architectural styles the '04 pilot might have gone with:
First-Period English Style (1600-1700)One of the possible problems with this design, though, is feature #3 - the one room depth. However, some examples, like the Iron Works House in Saugus, Massachesetts (an almost perfect location when one considers that Maine was still part of MA during this period), had additions built after the intial construction, making those examples large enough to encompass what most of us would envision as the Old House:
- 1) Massive chimney
- 2) Steeply pitched roof
- 3) One-room depth
- 4) No eave overhang or cornice detailing
- 5) Small casement windows with many small panes
The back facade
But its biggest problem is VERY low ceilings. Check out this picture of the the second story chamber (which would have been used for receiving honored guests). Would we really want to have Barnabas living in an environment such as this? I wouldn't.
