In the tidewater of Virginia a unique form of roof style evolved which we have come to
know as the Gambrell Roof. This form was typically used on barns in Europe. It found use in America when, as the tale goes, the Crown of England levied a tax on housing based on the height of the cornice line above the street level. In the Gambrell Roof shape, the space of the second floor was relatively undiminished and the owner was the beneficiary of an 18th Century tax loophole.
Canter's Way is a simple cottage for the first-time home builder or retiree. It is
conservative, but the design elements are very finely detailed to provide a dwelling of lasting sound investment.
