What image does a home in the Appalachian Mountains conjure up for you? Simple; old fashioned; comforting? Perhaps you imagine the ubiquitous front porch offering a warm greeting that says, “Welcome Home.” The architecture of the Appalachian Region is distinctive in a ‘no frills’ kind of way with an understated sophistication that transforms humble into gracious. The master craftsmen and designers at Woodhouse pay tribute to the thousands of homesteaders who made their way across this new frontier and fell in love with the mountainous Appalachian landscape. Self-sufficient families claimed their homesteads in the states of West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Like most classic American architecture, the vernacular of the homes these pioneers built evolved organically by making use of the natural materials around them.
