dogtrot
A dogtrot, also known as a dog-run or possum-trot, is a type of traditional house typically found in the Southeastern United States. It is often a one-story structure containing two separate living areas divided by an open, central breezeway or hallway, which allows for air circulation and helps keep the structure cool in hot climates. The two living areas are usually symmetrical and similar in size. This architectural feature has its roots in the rural, pioneer days of American history.
