Saltbox Influenced
The Salt Box traditionally had a shorter steep roof line in front and a longer steep slope in back making the house look bigger from the front than it actually was. The Saltbox house plan is a graceful and easy way to enlarge the interior space in the home. The saltbox originated in New England, and is an example of American colonial architecture.
The simplicity and strength of this design, first seen around 1650, continues to make saltbox houses popular today.
