Salt Box
early american
A building with a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back (further down than in the front), generally a wooden frame house. A saltbox has just one story in the back and two stories in the front. The flat front and central chimney are recognizable features, but the asymmetry of the unequal sides and the long, low rear roof line are the most distinctive features of a saltbox.
