The gable front and wing plan house in figure 8 was popular in the period from 1890 to 1920. The key feature was the forward wing which occupied a portion of the full gallery and the resultant half porch. Often the front wall of the wing was angled, or cut away, but the full roof gable remained. Or, an additional polygonal bay was added. Note the Queen Anne scroll and trim on the porch. This replaced the simple 6″ × 6″ square post of older house forms. This house plan sometimes featured a central hall. Though in a deteriorated state, the two room house in figure 9 has features worth noting. The siding is vertical board and batten, a technique of construction which appeared with the erection of lumber and railroad worker housing in the 1880’s. The front covered area does not extend the full width of the core; therefore, it is termed a “porch” in contrast to the “gallery” of the previous two examples. Also, it is “attached” and not “integral” with the main core roof structure. THE WOOD FRAME HOUSE, 20TH CENTURY The 20th century houses shown on this page exhibit a quest for individuality and contemporary expression. Figure 10 depicts a typical central hall plan. The roof is hip and not the usual gable. This detail required a shorter gallery which was not flush with the extreme end walls. The front door is flanked by full width windows. Shutters were added to the front gallery windows. The bungalow plan appeared in North Louisiana in the mid 1910’s. This two room wide and two or more room deep house type (figure 11) proliferated in rural and urban areas. In its simplest form there was a forward facing gable with a porch. Here is depicted a half porch. Double windows were used. The 1930’s house illustrated in figure 12 is typical of the one room wide, several room deep shotgun plan found throughout much of Louisiana. This plan type became the typical house type for workers in New Orleans after the Civil War. It was seldom found in the hill parishes away from the waterways. In the shotgun depicted in figure 12 plywood siding has been installed over the original horizontal siding on the porch. [Illustration: _Fig. 10.
