Sort of Federal Style.  Sorta.

Be serious guys.

It's vinyl corinthian.

It's been badly remodeled over the years. Probably was a builder's craftsman originally. "several" is a pretty good answer.

do you think the brick is original?

Also definitely elements of Victorian styling - in the (double) corbelled cornice, the roof line, the bay entrance...

Probably the original question needs to be answered with a question: why, rkba, do you need to define the appearance of this house with a Style name?  It's so eclectic (which is also a Style when written with a capital E) that it could be described accurately in many different ways depending on your end goal.

Federal Georgian Nouveau, of course.

Vernacular.  That house is a product of all of the various people who have lived in it and updated it to their own tastes a little bit at a time.

I like wedding cake better.  I think they turned that into a vodka.
