Introduction
The Cape Cod house, also called the
Cape-style house, is the simplest of
all New England Colonial houses. Generally,
a "Cape" is a rectangular
frame house (usually shingled or clapboarded)
with a straight unadorned ridge roof,
and a massive chimney centrally located
in line with the front entrance. The
door opens onto a tiny entrance hall.
The interior began as two rooms, one
room deep, but later Capes often were
expanded at sides and back. The type
developed from the last quarter of
the 17th century to about 1830, and
later enjoyed a resurgence in post-World
War II America. The wide appeal of
the Cape Cod cottage makes it one
of the best known forms of traditional
American architecture.
