Shingle House Plan Features
Continous Rough Hewn Wood Shingles
Their identifying rough hewn, stained shingle siding, mono-toned coloring, shady porches, asymmetrical floor plans and pure lines are the style's most common denominators as they can also incorporate rustic stone, Palladian windows, stone arches over windows and porches and towers and turrets.
Steep-Pitched Roof Lines
Example homes feature irregular, steeply-pitched roofs constructed of wood shingles, combined with multiple gables that intersect at broad gable ends; paired with eaves forming a slight overhang.
Distinctive Features
Distinctive towers, protruding gables, and complex rooflines connect this style to the rest of the Victorian school. Bay windows accented by multiple double hung windows fill rooms with light and let in breezes from land and sea.
