The Plainfield city architecture runs the gamut from ranches and cape cods to Victorians and classic colonials. A Plainfield house, regardless of architecture is representative of a high quality housing stock.
Located
at the southern end of Union county, Plainfield, New Jersey was originally settled by the Quakers in 1684 and incorporated
in 1869. Within the six square miles of Plainfield are numerous 18th century buildings, many of them private
residences. The presence of many stately homes helped to give way to the creation of the nickname "The Queen City".
After the Victorian wave, Plainfield houses took on a much different style. The early 1900s saw an influx of classic colonials, side and center hall alike.
