Completed in 1913, the dorms were the first example of Maryland Style Colonial Architecture in southern Minnesota.
There are two varieties of Colonial Architecture.
Georgian
Colonial
Colonial Architecture is an off-shot of the Cape Cod style of architecture.
“Real” Colonial style can only be found in the 13 colonies.
Georgian style was transported directly from England.
It only had slight differences from the English Style.
Colonial Style is completely distinct from the Georgian and English style.
It evolved only in America.
It is less complex than the Georgian Style and is thought to be less “glamorous”.
There are four forms.
The first is found primarily in New England.
The second is mainly in New York with some examples found in Long Island and Northern New Jersey.
The third originated in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.
The last is in rare existence found only in Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas.
