Central Passage House
The central passage house is a one-story building, with a symmetrical plan. The door opens into a central hall, with one or two rooms to either side of equal size. Opposite the front door, the hall has another door leading to the rear of the property. The front facade is also symmetrical, in that each room has the same number of windows, customarily on both front and rear. Chimneys were located at either end of the house. Central passage houses were usually occupied by middle class owners, and could be quite ornate in their interior and exterior detailing. (St. Louis, 1995)
