THE AMERICAN FOURSQUARE HOME.......From Mail-Order Home to Iconic Architecture Imagine the United States in the late 19th century in the midst of a growing economy and modernization. Urban communities were developing fast with more Americans leaving rural areas to pursue employment opportunities in the cities. It was a time when families moved away from their multi-generational residences and aspired to live in their separate homes.Enter the Foursquare, one of the most popular styles in the U.S. from the mid-1890s through the late 1930s during the economic boom that resulted in a greater demand for housing. Often mistaken for a Colonial home, the Foursquare is considered a variant of the Prairie Style and is sometimes called "Prairie Box." With its boxy shape and simple design, the Foursquare - so-called because of its typically square footprint - was a reaction against the ornate and dramatic embellishments of other Victorian-era styles of the period.
