Developed around 1630 with the arrival of Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam and the Hudson River Valley in what is now New York.[5] At first the settlers built small one-room chalets with stone walls and steep roofs to make room for a second-story attic. By about 1670, two-story gabled homes were common in New Amsterdam.

In the rural Hudson Valley, the Dutch farmhouse evolved into a flat, linear house with straight-edged gables set at the end of the walls. Around 1720, the distinctive mansard roof was adopted from the English style, with the addition of projections to the front and rear to protect the mortar used in the typical stone walls and foundations.[6]​.

Developed approximately after 1675, when the Delaware River Valley (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware) area of ​​the United States was settled by immigrants from Sweden, Finland, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and some other European nations. The early settlers of this region adopted the "half-beam" style of construction popular in Europe at the time, which had a frame of braced beams filled with masonry (brick or stone). However, settlers modified the method to include a stone first floor, a second floor, and a beam or log roof system. Eventually, stone became the preferred material for building all homes, as they grew from one-room chalets to large farmhouses.

The "bank house" was a popular type of house during this period, typically built into a hill for protection during the cold winter and hot summer of the region.

The two-story "cottage" was also common around Pennsylvania during this era.[7]​.

It was developed in the central Atlantic and New England regions between 1720 and 1780. The defining characteristics of Georgian architecture are its square, symmetrical forms, central doorways, and the straight lines of the windows on the first and second floors. It is common to find a decorative wreath over the door and flattened columns on each side of it. The door leads to an entrance with stairs aligned along the center of the house.[8] All the rooms arise as a branch of these. Georgian buildings, following English customs, were ideally made of brick with wooden trim, wooden columns and white-painted floorboards. In the United States, you can find both brick construction and wood and batten construction. They were generally painted white, although sometimes pale yellow was used. This set them apart from most other structures that were not normally painted.

A Georgian Colonial style house typically has a living room (as it was formerly defined), dining room, and sometimes a "family room." The bedrooms are usually located on the upper floor. They also have one or two fireplaces that can be quite large.

Developed in early Spanish settlements in the Caribbean "Caribbean (region)") and Mexico, the origins of the Spanish colonial style in the United States can be found in St. Augustine "St. Augustine (Florida)"), Florida, the oldest established U.S. city, founded in 1565. The style would also develop in the southwestern U.S. and in California with the establishment of the Spanish missions between 1769 and 1823.

The initial type of housing in Spanish Florida was the "board house", a small one-room house built of smooth sawn wooden boards, usually with a quincha roof.

During the 1700s, "common houses" were mortared, and whitewashed with an addition of oyster shell. Typically two stories, the homes included cooling porches considering Florida's climate.[4]​.
