The farmhouse is a classic, combining comfort and simplicity, elegance and nostalgia, all without pretension. No matter the age, these historic homestead pioneers worked the land and raised their families at a time when practicality was key to prosperity. But the farmhouse is more than a historic one. Farmhouse style continues to evolve into the 21st century, carrying with it the best of the past while adapting to our modern lifestyle. A farmhouse is instantly recognizable for its main rectangular form, gabled or lean-to additions, various outbuildings, and spartan architecture, among other hallmarks. While the farmhouse's use of natural materials and basic construction is indicative of its traditional, sensible nature, modern farmhouses might equally be built according to energy-efficient standards.
