A Cape Cod cottage is a housing style that first originated in New England back in the 17th century. This type of housing style is usually identified with the broad frame building, steep pitched roofs with end gables, larger chimneys as well as very little use of ornaments. Traditional Cape Cod house styles are quite simple, consisting of symmetrically designed central front doors, which are encompassed by a couple of multi- paned windows on either side. The houses were designed to withstand the stormy weather of the coast of Massachusetts, and most designs still draw from their colonial counterparts.
