Originally developed in the 1600s to withstand harsh Massachusetts winters, the Cape Cod cottage--with its central door and chimney, flanking windows, and steeply pitched roof--is an instantly recognizable architectural form. Thanks to its simple and versatile layout, it has been adapted in countless ways by modern builders, and remains one of the most popular styles of American house.

William Morgan, an architectural historian, has taught at Princeton, the University of Louisville, and Brown. He is the author of Academia: Collegiate Gothic Architecture in the United States (Abbeville), Monadnock Summer, and American Country Churches, among others.
