The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
The traditional line is solid Poplar milled from clear, kiln-dried hardwood - the working backbone of the White River catalog. Crowns, bases, casings, chairrails, and panel moulds are drawn in coordinated proportions and precision machined on Weinig moulders, so profiles stack and return cleanly against each other.
Stock is NHLA graded and kiln-dried to 6-8% moisture content, with coordinating accessories, blocks, plinths, and dimensional lumber available to complete the package.
