- Description:
- Shotgun houses are a specific architectural style of house characterized by its narrow, rectangular shape and linear arrangement of rooms. These homes typically have rooms arranged one behind the other, without hallways, creating a single-file flow through the house. These were common in mill towns and African-American communities.
