The <br />Craftsman style is, derived from a <br />simplified implified rectilinear plan. The <br />Neoclassical building also derived lits <br />form from a rectilinear plan but has a <br />dominant central entry porch with <br />columns which extend the full height <br />of the building. The Tudor form is <br />derived by one or more prominent <br />cross rectangles and its building <br />materials (principally masonry and <br />stone) make it less <br />compartmentalized with fewer <br />openings. <br />Scale <br />The scale of a building is measured <br />as the relationship of building size to <br />something else, such as a human. <br />Windows, entrances, porches, bays <br />and the dimension of building <br />materials contribute to the overall <br />scale of the building. The houses in <br />these districts are one or two stories <br />high andl are considered to be <br />"huiman" scale. <br />Rhythm <br />The rhythm of a street is created by <br />the spacing between houses, the <br />location and spacing of sidewalks <br />from the curb to the entrances of the <br />houses, and the location and spacing <br />of the driveway entrances to each <br />property. The rhythm, of the street <br />adds to the visual continuity and <br />Design Standards for the City of Paris, Texas 92 <br />
