4 Popular Home and Window Styles in Wyoming

Wyoming is known for its mountain ranges, sagebrush prairies, and being home to the first national park in the world. Nevertheless, Wyoming has distinct architectural styles, and if you’re considering window replacement project for your home, we recommend looking at some of our popular home styles and their matching window types.

1. Ranch

Ranch architecture became popular during the late 1940s, easily recognized by its sprawling, one-story structures. While suburban homeowners have adopted this architectural style for homes in gated communities, Ranch style homes look best surrounded by wide tracts of land. Double-hung windows from Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming with three-pane upper sashes are the ideal choice. The bottom sash is usually without grilles.

2. Mediterranean

Today’s Mediterranean architecture in Wyoming is half influenced by Spanish architecture and half by modern styles. Traditional Mediterranean staples like red clay roof tiles and stucco siding are mixed with open floor plans similar to Ranch-style homes. French-style casement windows with horizontal panes are ideal for Mediterranean style homes. The occasional bay window also works with similar grille styles.

3. Georgian

Also known as Federal architecture, Georgian architecture is known for its symmetrical two-story layout, prominent entryway columns, and elliptical transom windows above paneled front doors. A prominent example of Georgian architecture is the Historic Wyoming Governor’s Mansion, which served as the Wyoming Governor’s residence between 1905 and 1976 and now operates as a museum. Georgian architecture also features double-hung windows with 12-over-12 grille patterns. Choose 9-over-9 or 6-over-6 grilles for a modern look. Smaller windows such as dormers will need casement windows to meet egress requirements.

4. Craftsman Bungalow

The Craftsman Bungalow style was developed from the early 20th century Arts and Crafts movement, and retains the preference for handcrafted materials. Choose narrow casement windows with vertically-oriented grilles similar to Ranch architecture. This motif can be carried over to the patio doors by installing transoms with similar grilles.
