I love A Hays Town homes, if we ever have a chance to custom build we plan to borrow some influence for those designs.
This one you posted is for sale in Monroe for $2.375 million, it's a beautiful home.

Craftsman style doesn’t go back 175 years. Was it something else that was renovated to look craftsman?

The Oak Park/ Frank Wright mid century look, or theme at least.
Very cool looking and functional at the same time.

Farm house style with wrap around porch if I ever get to build my own.

Modern.
Glass and metal. Interior is white. I want borderline sterile.

I’ve had a few homes built based on general principals, materials and style utilized by A Hays Towne.
Wide plank hard wood pine floors
Lots of old reclaimed Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans brick.
Arched doorways and entrances
Nice handmade exterior copper lamps
Custom windows and doors and molding
Sugar kettle in yard…

I love the Charleston plantation style homes. Not sure if that's the correct term, and is probably raciss.

The decade it took us to renovate. It was pretty sad when we bought it. Solid but sad. Ripped everything from electrical to plumbing. Left as many of the old features as we feasibly could. Also added two beds and a bath to the unfinished attic
Gotcha. We just ripped the bandaid off and did 90% of it in one fell swoop. 6 months in a garage apartment and almost 200k total but worth it.
We were probably in the same boat with “solid but sad.” Nothing was in disrepair but the color choices and modifications of the 70s and 80s weren’t great and it was untouched from that time. We bought in 2009 when the sellers were desperate and refinanced/remodeled in 2020 when the rates were low.
There’s still about $40k we would need to be set but it’s extremely livable as is.

If I were to build a new camp today, it would be with shipping containers.

Those are "Charleston single (or double) homes". Turned sideways with the gable end facing the street. Two or more stories one room wide (if single).
When the long side is the facade, it becomes a "Plantation Plain" house (although some reserve that designation for a 1st story porch along the front and shed rooms to the rear.) Can also have two story porch/portico, shed rooms off main structure, L or T wings, etc.
All forms of the "I house", which harkens back to Georgian architecture. Once very common in the south and midwest. Can be dressed up to be Greek revival, (folk) Victorian, etc. A vernacular style of home in the US.

Hays Town basically invented this before there was even a term "McMansion." All of Louisiana suburbia has clamored for it ever since.

A well-done Tudor style house is nice. The builders-grade abominations from the 1980s doesn't count.
They are hard to design to look nice because you have to strike a balance between multiple materials. You have plaster, wood, and multiple types of stone/brick and stone. The cheap ones in the 80s don't have the budget to succeed. To me you have to have a steep, variable roofline with exposed brick chimneys. Has a quintessential old-time village feel.
Bavarian style homes also share a lot of commonalities with Tudor style as well.
I also love Mediterranean style but to me when they are built outside of arid or Mediterranean climates it clashes with the lighting and terrain.
