"Salt-box" style house
View of what appears to be a farm house featuring an unusual roof style. The front is a gambrel while the back is a salt-box style. The gambrel roof is more commonly found on barns and out buildings to increase space on the upper level. The salt box roof extends one side of a house to increase useable space at the back of the first floor and it is easy to construct. The house is set on open land, with large houses and other buildings seen in the distance. Off to the right one can see a well sweep.
