Single-pen
Many early
houses consisted of a single room, or pen. The single-pen house was normally
a one-room rectangular plan structure with a sleeping loft above. The
gable-end chimney could be either interior or exterior to the structure.
Windows were small and entrances frequently located in the center of a broad
wall or gable end wall.
