The Changing South
There are a few things that the South and the Seattle area have in common such as the constant precipitation and its industry in paper products, but the one thing that grabbed my attention was the differences in the architectural styles of housing.
In Seattle, there are a few styles that predominate, those are the Victorian, the Craftsman, and more uniquely, the Water home.
FUN FACT: Seattle has the highest percentage of water homes in the United States, second highest outside of Asia.
In New Orleans, the styles that predominate are the Creole Cottage, the Shotgun house, and the Double-Gallery house.
All of these styles accommodate the climate of each city, the type of terrain, and they also show the ethnicities that settled into each area.
