The selection includes houses typical of not only these areas but also the entire New England seacoast: shingled and clapboarded one-storey houses, house with various lean-to additions, "salt box" and "half-house" type structures two-storey and three storey shingled and brick houses. The author points out interesting and characteristic details such as the unique bowed roofs, constructed, some say, by shipwrights to resemble the bottom of a ship; the "captain's walk" which tops many roofs; the clustered chimney; the pillared porticos of later structures; typical barns, woodsheds and other outbuildings.
