New England Classic Cottage
Like the Cape Cod cottage, this structure derived in the early nineteenth century from the central chimney hall and parlor cottage of New England. Two front rooms sit at either side of an entrance lobby from which a stairway ascends to two rooms in a half—story. Several smaller rooms are arranged across the first floor rear. Commonly, ”lie-on-your-stomach” or “ankle” windows located below the eave of the gable roof (often in an entablature) light the upstairs rooms. Hamlin 1944, 303; Lewis 1975, 10; Noble 1984, 105.
