Pyramidal Cottage

Isaac Kremer/ January 9, 2021/ / 0 comments

This version of the square cottage (a structure two rooms wide and two rooms deep without central hallway) has a peaked-hip roof (sometimes truncated near the top). Stoves and associated chimneys are variously placed, although in structures with central heating a single chimney located at the peak of the roof is common. This form was most popular between 1890 and 1910. Finley and Scott 1940, 417; Newton 1971, 17; Lewis 1975, 20; Bastian 1977, 126; Jeane and Purcell 1978, 21. (Jakle, 1989)
