Saltbox house
It is a traditional New England style of home, originally timber framed, which takes its name from its resemblance to a wooden lidded box in which salt was once kept.The saltbox is an example of American colonial architecture, although it probably originated in Kent and East Anglia, coming across with the first wave of Puritans.[5] In the United States, the term is applied to roofs on houses in the Southeast, especially stretching from Maryland south and west through Kentucky, and from early colonial times to around 1910.The catslide could cover an open patio with a lower ceiling than the house, or could continue almost to the ground, creating a limited height storage area.Also known as post-and-beam construction, the technique joins large pieces of wood with mortise and tenon joints, wooden pegs, braces, or trusses.
