From Wikipedia
A saltbox house is a gable-roofed residential structure that is typically two stories in the front and one in the rear, so that the front roof is considerably shorter than the back one. It is a traditional New England-style of home, originally timber-framed, which takes its name from its resemblance to a type of slant-topped lidded wooden box in which salt was once kept. The structure's unequal sides and long, low rear roofline are its most distinctive features. A flat front and central chimney are also recognizable traits.
