Portrait Homes

Portrait Homes is an alternate brand of Pasquinelli Homes, a Chicago, Illinois based homebuilding company, founded in 1956 by brothers Bruno and Tony Pasquinelli. It is the 5th largest privately owned homebuilding company in the United States (per number of units sold) according to Builder Magazine’s 2007 Builder 100 report.

Portrait Homes initially built only in the Chicago area under the name Pasquinelli Homes, but expanded to the Charlotte, North Carolina market under the name Portrait Homes in 1988. Since that time, the Portrait Homes brand has expanded to markets in South Carolina, Indiana, Texas, Ohio, Georgia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

In 2009 Portrait Homes had stopped operations in the Greensboro and Charlotte, North Carolina markets.

Famous quotes containing the words portrait and/or homes:

    Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)

    As fathers, men often feel either like guests in their own homes or clumsy bulls in china shops, deferring to their wives as the “emotional experts” and squelching their own wish to be fully involved.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)
