Cape Cod & Shingle architectural styles are dominant along the East Coast resort areas. The most distinctive feature of this style is the roof. Steep pitches and gambrel lines dominate the elevation of all wood siding and shingles with a variety of profiles. Windows are vertical with multiple panes, often used in groupings and symmetrically stacked. Towers, shutters, clerestory windows, dovecotes, stair railings, detailed gable dormers, cupolas and decorative round windows compliment each other as they enhance simple massing of the main structure.width and have divided lites in the upper portion or the entire window.
