Creole --The
Creole Cottage, which is mostly found in the South,
originated in New Orleans in the 1700s. The homes are
distinguished by a front wall that recedes to form a
first-story porch and second-story balcony that stretch
across the entire front of the structure. Full-length
windows open into the balconies, and lacy ironwork
characteristically runs across the second-story level.
These two- and three-story homes are symmetrical in
design with front entrances placed at the center.
"Creole French," a variation of the basic Creole
design, came into vogue in southern states in the 1940s
and 1950s.
