New England Salt box - Built in 1940

Although all three houses were built at the same time, each one has a unique style, particularly the New England style Saltbox on the corner.

\* More of a building shape than a building style, the saltbox takes its name from a sloping gable roof that gives the house the shape of a wooden box used to store salt in Colonial times. The Saltbox house is formed by a one-story addition across the rear of a 1-1/2 or 2-story building. Initially an easy method of enlarging a house. It is a traditional New England style of house with a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, generally with timber framing. The saltbox house is a Colonial Style of architecture that originated in New England.
