Gable-Front Double-Pile House
A gabled, 2- or 2 1/2-story structure two rooms wide and two or more rooms deep, this house retains only the outward form of the double—pile house. Having a front door in one gable end facing the street, the varied floor plans of this house are substantial departures from the Georgian plan. Side-hall floor plans are common to nineteenth-century houses (a). Bungalow-related floor plans typify the twentieth century (b). Chimney placement varies.
