Florida cracker architecture

Encyclopedia : F : FL : FLO : Florida cracker architecture

Florida cracker architecture is a style of woodframe home used somewhat widely in the 19th century in Florida, United States, and still popular with some developers as a source of design themes. Florida cracker homes are characterized by metal roofs, raised floors, large porch areas (often wrapping around the entire home), and straight central hallways from the front to the back of the home (sometimes called "dog run" or "shotgun" hallways).
