Definition
A dwelling house on a farm, typically the main residence where farm owners or operators live.
Etymology
Compound of 'farm' (from Old English feorm 'food, provisions') and 'house' (from Old English hūs). The specific compound emerged in the 17th century as agricultural settlements became more organized.
Kelly Says
Farmhouses represent a unique architectural category designed around the rhythm of agricultural life - they typically feature large kitchens for feeding workers, porches for shaded rest, and practical layouts connecting easily to barns and fields. The 'farmhouse style' in modern décor romanticizes this connection between form and function.
