    I thought a shotgun house is where you look thru the front door and see out the back. That’s what gave you the draw for air flow. Beautiful remodels, but are they truly shotguns anymore. I’ll go google it. Y’all have a blessed day.

      Thank you for reaching out. The form and function remain the same 12'-16' wide simple A frame design with covered front porch. Of course they were constructed before indoor plumbing so we needed to add that as opposed to an outhouse lol. The last house is an 1860's Greek Revival Cottage I moved next to a shotgun house so thought it prudent to add since next door but not a shotgun house Steve May Sam Winter & Company, Inc. 251-209-4028

      I read, years ago, that they were called Shotgun houses because you could shoot a gun straight into the front door and out through the back door without hitting anything (assuming you weren’t too drunk, of course). Actually, they were called Shotgun Shacks, but that wouldn’t do much for the real estate value today. 😏
