New Orleans Shotgun Revival

The shotgun house came into style when owners were taxed by the city for the width of their homes. It's also said that you can shoot a shotgun from the front door to the back, which is where they style derived it's name. In keeping with the historic design, the original heart-pine floors were saved and the double glass doors, which Sarah found in a local architectural salvage shop were added. The glass doors continue the open feeling into the office, which doubles as a guest room.
