  • It is a colonial style of home, which was built to withstand the extreme weather conditions on the coast. It doesn't have a porch, but may have a small stoop. It is usually square or nearly square, story and a half with a steeply pitched roof. It may have doghouse dormers on the roof. The style became popular in the forties and fifties and was easily interpreted as a modern home in the subdivisions going up at that time. If you google it, there are many images available.
