DEF

DEF

The American term for the Domestic Revival of the 1870s and 1880s, influenced initially by Norman Shaw, but replacing his tile-hanging by shingle-hanging.... The shingle style is almost exclusively a style of the medium-sized private house, and its most interesting and most American feature, not implied in the name, is open internal planning.
