The farmhouse is a building that serves as a primary residence in a rural or agricultural environment. Historically, farmhouses are often combined with space for animals called housebarn. Other farmhouses may be connected to one or more barns, built to form a yard, or with each farmhouse separated from each other.

North America
The types of farm houses in North America include the following:
Canada
Canadian farmhouses are influenced by European settlers. In Quebec, the style varies from Gothic to Swiss, with the kitchen being the most important space in the house. In Ontario, farmhouses in the late 19th century were influenced by Victoria. Previously used clapboard and variations then have a brick. Many are front porches. In the west, the residence varies from one floor of a wooden house to a thatched hut. Wooden houses were built later when trains carried wood from the Rockies (Alberta, British Columbia). In the early 1900s homes can be purchased as kits from several Canadian and American companies. Houses in Canada are often different from their American counterparts because the terrace is often closed.
From 1850 onwards many featured vernacular interpretations of more formal architectural styles, such as the Greek Revival, Italian, Carpenter Gothic, and Queen Anne.
