This plan was better in Second Empire Victorian--most likely derived from a Type 7 or Type 9. I mean, the plan is identical, but the Victorian original didn't have those awful columns, and also had all sorts of delightful gingerbread (which is an utter nightmare to maintain). Lose the columns, make the roof Mansard, add some dormers and iron cresting, and then brother, you've got a beautiful house.
edit: Also, lose all those fucking railings. Those railings are for what--so the guy doing maintenance can climb out the window so he can...repair the railings?

Those are beautiful houses. I had to google but they are nice
