gablefront house
A Gablefront house, also known as a Gable Front house or Front Gable house, is a vernacular (or "folk") house type in which the Gable is facing the street or entrance side of the house.〔(American Houses: A Field Guide to the Architecture of the Home, 2004 )〕 They were built in large numbers throughout the United States primarily between the early 19th century and 1920. A Gablefront cottage is a smaller variant, consisting of either a single story or a story-and-a-half. They were typically used as working-class dwellings, most being rather simple in design. However, they may contain some ornamentation such as brackets around the doorways or roof line. Many gablefront houses contain front porches.〔(Architectural Styles, City of Red Wing )〕
==History==
The Gablefront house developed after 1825 and coincided with the popularity of the Greek Revival style, which placed emphasis on the gable-end of the house in the form of a pediment; often associated with Greek temples.〔(Architectural Styles, City of Fort Wayne )〕
The gablefront house allows the narrow part of the house to face the street, usually on a typically rectangular lot. The gablefront house became a uniquely American folk house type. The Gablefront house cropped up in styles ranging from Greek Revival, to Gothic Revival, to Queen Anne, to a simpler vernacular style home.〔(West Central Neighborhood Association )〕 The Gablefront house form remained popular into the early 20th century.〔(America's Favorite Homes: Mail-order Catalogues as a Guide to Popular Early 20th-century Houses, 1990 )
