1.15.1 DeScriPtiON & iNteNt
House C is a small-scale building type, typically 1.5
stories with a steeply pitched, gable roof. Floor-to-
floor heights of this building are on par with House B.
Garages are typically located in the rear of the lot.
Roofs are a dominant feature of this house type. When
the ridge runs parallel to the street, dormers are
located along the roof. Gable ends often face the street
for all or most of the width of the building.
