Story-And-A-Half One-Room House

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

A variant of the one-room house type is the somewhat larger story-and-a-half one-room house, which has an articulated loft space above. Extremely rare in St. Louis, what distinguishes these houses is a line of windows beneath the eaves on the front facade, that provide additional light to the loft area. The walls of the house are also somewhat higher than that of the one-room house, adding more headroom and greater space to the second floor. (St. Louis, 1995)
