After the Revolution, Americans celebrated their independence by rejecting the English styles, which characterized Colonial art and architecture, and embracing our new allies’ styles. The French favored bright colors and elaborate carvings. The Dutch, as masters of the East Indies, had access to all sorts of exotic materials, such as mahogany. And, of course, America herself had exclusive trading contracts with China that supplied wealthy Americans with wallpaper, china and silk. Americans used these goods in their homes—and traded them with other countries. Federal style, therefore, represented not only Americans’ obsession with European fashion, but also America’s increasing wealth and power.

While many Americans wanted to embrace Federal style, not all Americans had enough money to build entirely new homes. More commonly, they remodeled the homes they had, adding in what Federal touches they could afford. Thompson House is one such house. A traditional saltbox colonial, it boasts a partial Federal update, while retaining its simple charm.

By clicking the image at the top, you can see detailed photographs of the house. Please note that Thompson House comes unfurnished.
