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.
