What Style is My House
I'm writing in my notes that I made to rough out the What style is my house questionnaire. I lost the paper notes twice, so I want to make sure I don't lose this before I get a chance to build the questionnaire.
Basically I will ask a series of questions. Different answers will have different scores adding towards a particular style. Some questions should help specify within a style, for example a house that is victorian, could be specified based on what they respond to the roofline question.
Questions:
1. What year was your house built? (list consists of eras)
2. Which of the following most closely resembles the shape of your roofline? (series of drawings)
3. Select the elements that are prominent features of your house? (porch, centre hallway, 10' ceilings, fireplace, stained glass, vaulted ceilings, garage, carport, split-staircase, walk-in attic, dormers, 7' + basement.
4. Which of the following most closely resembles an original window in your house?
5. Which of the following does your house most resemble?
6. How many storeys does your house have? (1, 1 1/2, 2, 3 or more)
7. Which of the following describes your house? (Detached, Semi-detached, Side-by-side, Row)
8. If your house has pillars outside, which of the following most closely resembles those pillars? (craftsman, victorian, doric, metal)
Would like 2 more (5 is kinda weak).
