  • DESCRIPTION
    The Camelback House is a variation of the Shotgun that has a partial second floor over the rear of the house. The house plan and construction are similar to the shotgun, except for the addition of stairs to the second floor. The "hump" contains from one to four rooms.


    PERIOD
    Camelback Houses were built in the latter part of the Shotgun period and only a few were built in Bywater.
