L-Shaped Cottage

Isaac Kremer/ January 9, 2021/ / 0 comments

Like the upright and wing house this structure is L-shaped in perimeter outline. However, the floor plan is usually integrated under a single multiple-gable roof forming either a 1- or 1 1/2-story dwelling. Floor plans vary as does chimney placement. The angle of the L frequently contains a shed-type porch with the front door usually in the “wing.” This section is usually parallel to the street. Finley and Scott 1940, 415; McAlester and McAlester 1984, 206. (Jakle, 1989)
