HOUSE TYPE 06 OF 26
Type F / F′
A broad, orderly three-bay façade whose evenly spaced windows create one of the district’s clearest architectural rhythms.
Form & composition
Clarity Across Three Bays
Type F takes the simple logic of Type A and adds one more window bay. The first floor has an entrance at one side and two single windows; the second floor has three evenly spaced windows. Type F′ reverses the entrance.
Like Type A, this family often relies on paired porches to connect neighboring mirror-image houses into a larger composition.
Identification guide
How to Recognize It
Look for three equally spaced upper windows and a side entrance balanced by two separate windows below.
The entrance occupies one side of the wider composition.
Two separate first-floor windows sit beside the door.
Three evenly spaced windows define the second floor.
The porch may be open, enclosed or paired with a terrace above.
Architectural character
Simple, But Not Uniform
Type F is broader than Type A but retains the same clear, almost diagrammatic rhythm.
Porch roofs may be flat, shed-shaped or gabled. Historic enclosures may include multi-light doors, transoms, casement windows, paneled siding and wood cornices.
