From its onset, Classic Colonial Homes’ guiding principal was to create residential architecture that combined spacious yet efficient, and comfortable open floor plans within traditional, historically inspired designs to create the warmth, charm and character that we most admire in antique New England homes. Inspired by the work of master builders centuries earlier, our late founder, Lloyd Abbott Kirley’s own unique designs came from personal impressions developed by decades of exposure to early American architecture. The resulting designs were not replicas of existing homes but original works that each contained historically correct proportions, form, scale and detailing to establish a particular style and air of authenticity of its own. When built as designed, using hand-made products his company created exclusively for them, every Classic Colonial Home would honor the past while being admired by future generations, alike.
