- A flounder house is a term used in some areas to describe a type of house with a roof with a single slope, rather than the double slope of gabled roof. Some are oriented so that the shed roof runs perpendicular to the facade, in these tallest wall of the house lacks windows and doors. The house may align with a property edge, sit at the back of its lot, or align with other houses on its street. Others have a different number of apparent stories on the facade and the rear elevation, with the ridge line running parallel the facade. Though modern examples exist, most flounder houses date from the 18th or 19th century. They can be found in cities in the United States from the Mississippi River Valley to the East Coast. The flounder house's namesake is the similarly asymmetrical flounder fish. (en)
