The Wikipedia article describes the form that I always understood to be a 'saltbox house' - two storeys in the front, one in the back, like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/67727422. There are two outbuildings - a privy and a barn - behind the house in that old photo, not part of the house itself. That's New England vernacular architecture, but I don't think that the term means something different in UK English. I checked _Encyclopaedia Brittanica_, and its description is also of the New England vernacular design, as does lexico.com (which supposedly serves up one of the Oxford dictionaries). (Side note: My uncle rehabbed that two-hundred-year-old building, and my brother is still living in it.) -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
