Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Help me Identify. . .

I grew up in a family full of home builders, so I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this. See this picture.


This is an example of a type of home that was very popular from the mid-60s until the mid-80s. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Any ideas?

Raised ranch

Yup. Two story ranch.

With masonite siding.

I thought a raised ranch didn't have the distinctive front porch.

Ah! Two-story ranch as a search on Google comes up with a similar photo to the original. I'll go with that. Dang. You'd think after 50-some years, I'd remember something like that. All my friends grew up in one of them. I had the odd luck of being in the only Georgian Colonial in the neighborhood.

Raised Ranch with a distinctive front porch then. Architectures get mixed all the time.

I'd call that a ranch, story and a half.

What do I know though.

Ranch and a half

Morewood got it.

Thanks all for you participation. Middle age can suck sometimes.

Tear down.

Yeah it's a ranch style.

No just remodel. It's the most practical design ever conceived. A roof line with 20 different pitches And Angles is ridiculous, they'll be laughing at that schit 20 years from now.

Straight Ranch ?

A he/she?

When I grew up in the 50's and 60's that would be called the nicest house in town!!

No doubt!

We have one of them multiple angled, fuggly nightmares.

Ours will be a tear off from the top.
