A-frame house
An A-frame house is an architectural house style〔"A-frame" ''Oxford English Dictionary'' Second Edition on CD-ROM (v. 4.0) © Oxford University Press 2009〕 featuring steeply-angled sides (roofline) that usually begin at or near the foundation line, and meet at the top in the shape of the letter A. An A-frame ceiling can be open to the top rafters.
Although the triangle shape of the A-frame has been present throughout history, it surged in popularity around the world in the post-World War II era, from roughly the mid-1950s through the 1970s. It was during this time that the A-frame acquired its most defining characteristics.

A-Frame buildings are an ancient form known in Europe, China, and the South Pacific islands sometimes called a ''roof hut'' and were simple structures used for utilitarian purposes until the 1950s.〔Randl, Chad. ''A-frame''. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2004. Print.〕 Architects Walter Reemelin, John Campbell, George Rockrise, Henrik H Bull, and Andrew Geller set the stage in the early 1950s designing A-frame vacation homes.〔 Andrew Geller turned the old idea of the A-frame into a new fashion in 1955 when he built an A-frame house on the beach in Long Island, New York, known as the Elizabeth Reese House.〔 Named for the distinctive shape of its roofline, Geller's design won international attention when it was featured in ''The New York Times'' on May 5, 1957.〔(Fred A. Bernstein, "Andrew Geller, 87, Modernist Architect, Dies", ''New York Times''. December 27, 2011 ). accessed 1/26/2014〕 Before long, thousands of A-frame homes were being built around the world.
The Abbey Resort in Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, Wisconsin claims to have the world's tallest wooden A-frame.
