Federal style front doors.
The door is simple but the ornamentation around it is grand.
These semicircular or elliptical details would often feature a window to bring in additional light above paneled doors.
Side doors share panel designs similar to main entry doors although the side doors are slightly narrower.
Georgian federal style homes typically have one main entry door although there can be numerous auxiliary doors leading to patios decks the backyard or a side yard.
An elliptical fanlight or fan shaped window tops the door with long rectangular windows on either side.
Tall slender columns or pilasters frame the entrance.
The front door is surmounted by a fine fanlight which in turn is topped by a fanlight window on the second floor above.
Federal style homes typically emphasize the cornice with decorative molding most typically tooth like dentils or block like projections.
