Creole architecture in the United States

Williamsburg, a late 1830s example of a Creole cottage with neoclassical detailing in Natchez, Mississippi. It features the common features of most Creole cottages: separate entrance doors to each interior room, central chimney, raised basement, and is situated on the front property line.

Creole architecture in the United States is present in buildings in Louisiana and elsewhere in the South, and also in the U.S. associated territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A variant is Ponce Creole style.
