Colonial Revival
Colonial Revival is the most widely built style in American history, running from the 1880s through today and accounting for the millwork in millions of homes — from 1920s Cape Cods to modern center-hall colonials. The style consolidates Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival elements into a more accessible vocabulary: clean crown profiles, fluted casings with corner blocks or mitered returns, six-panel doors, and chair rails sized for everyday rooms. Mason’s Mill carries 43 Colonial Revival profiles that match the standard millwork found in pre-war and post-war traditional homes. This is the right category for most “we want it to look colonial” renovations and additions where strict period accuracy isn’t required.
