L-Shaped House
Probably a derivative of the upright and wing house, this L-shaped structure preserves a “temple and wing” effect. However, its integrated floor plan does not preserve the integrity of each house section as a separate unit as at least one room occupies space in both sections. Usually, this late nineteenth-century form is capped by a multiple-gable roof. Floor plans vary as does chimney placement. The angle of the L frequently contains a shed-type porch. The front door is usually in the ”wing” section (the section parallel to the street). Finley and Scott 1940, 415; Marshall 1981, 35. (Jakle, 1989)
