This list highlights eight of the most prevalent architectural styles found in Vermont.  Many of the buildings that you will see along the state's highways, country roads, and main streets are examples of vernacular architecture.  While they may feature some of the elements commonly found in a particular style, vernacular architecture incorporates an individual builder's ideas into the overall design. The mixture of the vernacular and high style examples across the state enhances the overall character of Vermont's historic architecture.
