Introduction
Background
The national post-World War II housing boom was a phenomenon that transformed America from a
of millions of returning war veterans seeking home ownership and cushioned by the Serviceman’s
Four other major national events affected the construction industry in Maine to varying degrees:
Space exploration and product development seemed to have less impact on residential building
Silverio houses (mentioned later) are part of the back to the land movement with exterior siding
Federal Home Building Service Plan
owners who used service bureau plans and retained the services of registered architects to supervise
Another interesting aspect for further study is the relationship between personal spending in mortgage

Modern Materials and New Styles
Developers met the pent-up demand for single-family homes with a hearty supply of affordable new
two-story house with a built-in garage and additional upper-story bedroom was introduced by the
perhaps inspired by the 1930s restoration work at Williamsburg or by a desire for the comfort of
a practical assumption that the best functioning design is tried-and-true in response to the weather

This page: three Garrison examples. Note second story overhang and use of contrasting siding materi-als. Three bay examples were most common (see both houses, above); two or four bay examples (such as that at the left) were less common. The one-car ga-rage is small and recessed or turned to minimize its visual impact.

Ranch (1946-1975+)

Cross gable
These two pages: Typical early Ranches in Maine (1950-1955). Note gable side and hipped roofs. Entrances are integrated into the main roof or recessed into the front facade, sheltering the entrance without a projecting porch. Garages are typically integrated under the main roof or a cross gable. Contrasting siding materials (brick and shingle, stone and shingle) are common.

Raised Ranch (1958-1975+)

Integrated garage
Overhanging second story facade

Entrance is recessed into facade
At left, this early example found in Augusta is not quite a Raised Ranch. Although it has an integrated garage and the living areas appear to be on a single, elevated level, it lacks the off cen-ter, grade level entrance found in true Raised Ranches. Also note the entrance is in a side, rather than the primary, facade.

By the late 1960s, the Maine-built Raised Ranch is very con-
the front facde, slightly off center, and often recessed into the facade. The wider side has two bays, and contains sleeping and
openings. The narrower side contains the living space, which in-evitably has a single, large window opening (“picture window”). The garage is integrated in the lower level of the wider side.

These 1970s examples have cross gabled roofs over projecting volumes. The prima-ry living space is on a single, raised level, making these Raised Ranches, not Split Levels.

Split Level (1956-1973)
Typical early Split Level examples in Maine. The one-story volume contains the primary entrance
