Victorians have the most wrap around porches I think?
I can just envision little Kirby and little Will Muschamp being made to sit and shell peas on those porches

Here's some southern Greek revival
A big collection of houses along the main street in Eufala, Alabama are beautiful, just south of Aubie
What else Auburn? Victorian, Greek Revival, what else?
Teach us stuff.

Lafayette just north of Auburn has some beautiful homes as well.

There is one town in Georgia that the arsonist war criminal Sherman didn't burn that is crammed full of these type houses. Beautiful homes there. Can't remember the name of the town. Selma also has some of these type homes. I love the Greek Revival style plantation homes. They are scattered all over Tennessee and Virginia.

I work for a firm that concentrates on university work, and have been to every SEC campus except Oklahoma. By far, the ugliest collection of campus buildings can be found in Fayetteville.
It’s as if there are no campus standards at all. The Master Plan is fine, but the designs...
Consider yourself informed

The Haley Center is a nice example of 1960s Soviet-Bloc architecture

Auburn is much better known for their trailer parks.
Single wides, double wides, and even some FEMAs.

I went and stayed in the Mouton Plantation home in Lafayette, LA, this past weekend. It was amazing. Built around 1820 I think.

Ain’t nothing wrong with shelling peas on a wrap-around porch. Nothing wrong with shelling them under an oak tree, either.

Meanwhile in BR...

It is Eufaula not Eufala

Most is described as being in the midwest
but I think of the Ozarks as mainly snug southern, while having its own unique flavor.
U. of Arkansas is in the Ozarks, Mizzou is not.
Some Ozarks architecture:
Cave House
Still under construction, 6th year/Pensmore Mansion

Lots of towns have some of these homes still. Greensboro outside of Tuscaloosa does. Sadly most of these homes are going away because so many of these towns are dying. Kids may grow up there but few of them actually stay there after college because there are no jobs

I used to drive through downtown Eufaula at least twice a year in the 80's and 90's. There are some very nice pretty historic homes for sure... but I don't recall spanish moss. Are you sure that last pic is from Eufala?

This thread sucks

Back in the day, porches were a place where social activities took place. Before there was AC some people visited with guests on the porch, hoping to catch a breeze. Lemonade or tea were commonly served.

Underrated downtown. Just spent a week there for a fishing tourney.
