Shotgun House Plans

Let’s step back to the late 1800’s to get a glimpse of the style of the Shotgun House.

The Shotgun House was named from the way a shotgun was beautifully constructed; long and narrow. The Shotgun House is also long and narrow. Therefore, all the rooms and entryways are front to back and in a single straight line. The Shotgun was also designed to sport a gable roof and have front porches to add southern charm.
