This style of home often has a low pitched roof, with several gables. There are often triangular columns, the designs are very simplistic. Made with simple forms, and natural materials. Each house is different, some have stucco on the exterior and some have vinyl siding.

Men
I picture a husband who goes to work every morning to support his family. His job could be anything from a plumber to a lawyer.
Women
The wife of the house would most likely be a stay at home mom who had lunch with the other women of the neighborhood every Sunday.
Children
I picture the children being in grade school, and playing with their friends after school while their mom cooks diner.
