Salt Box House Plans

A salt box house is characterized by a salt box roof, which is a long pitched roof that slopes down the back. They have one story in back and two in front, and feature a central chimney. They are so named because the roofs resemble salt boxes from colonial times, and indeed, salt box houses are considered colonial homes.
