And that is a great example. The windows in the front were, very often once doors that were the only entrance into the original cabins. Later they became windows or remained as doors on the front of the house. That cabin on this web site is a good example of the similarity to the Cape Cod type of house the evolved from this simple beginning across Tennessee that was first seen on the East Coast, coming from England. The porch on the front really adds to the home look. Neat site. Thanks. Regina

And an additional resources for the fans of what we in Florida call the "cracker" style, check your local library for: Haase, Ronald W. Classic cracker : Florida's wood-frame vernacular architecture / Ronald W. Haase. Sarasota, Fla. : Pineapple Press, 1992. If they don't have it, mention Interlibrary Loan.
