Hall and parlor house
A hall and parlor house (known as A room and parlour house in Nigeria) is a type of vernacular house found in early modern to 19th century England, as well as in colonial North America.〔(The Hall-and-Parlor or Hall-and-Chamber House ) in ''American houses: a field guide to the architecture of the home'' by Gerald L. Foster〕 It is presumed to have been the model on which other North American house types have been developed, such as the Cape Cod house, Saltbox, and Central-passage house, and in turn influenced the somewhat later I-house. In England it had been a more modest development from the medieval hall house.
==Origins and features==
The hall-and-parlor style entails a rectangular, two-room configuration.〔(An entry to history ) in ''Vernacular architecture'' by Henry H. Glassie〕 The style began in early modern England, where it was often a timber-framed structure. Many could not afford a large house; however, putting up a wall in the only room created a smaller area in the rear of the house, called a parlor. This was the private room, and usually contained a bed. In early examples, the house is one room wide and two deep. The two adjoining rooms are connected by an interior door. An exterior door leads to the hall, the larger of the two rooms and the one in the front of the house. Behind the hall is the parlor. The hall may have been used for cooking, while the parlor was the general living space and bedroom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stlouis.missouri.org/government/heritage/buildtyp/p1-1.htm )〕
In colonial America, hall and parlor houses were two rooms wide and one deep. They were often one and a half stories tall, with a steeply pitched side-gabled roof. The style was at one time so ubiquitous that it was known colloquially as the 'Virginia style'. In the southern colonies, there were usually flush or exterior gable-end chimneys on one or both sides of the house. Northern examples often featured a central chimney. The houses were most often of wood-frame construction on a brick or stone foundation, but sometimes the entire structure was masonry. The windows were often asymmetrically placed. Common dimensions for the entire house were between deep and wide. The larger hall was the general purpose room and, if a loft existed, contained a stairway or ladder to it. The parlor was the smaller of the two rooms and more private. It was commonly used for sleeping.〔
The central-passage house, also known as the hall-passage-parlor house, is believed by architectural historians to have developed out of the earlier hall and parlor house-type. In fact, many examples are known where an earlier hall and parlor house had an additional wall added inside the larger hall room to form a central-passage house.
