A blue and yellow color scheme accents a “double shotgun” house in the French Quarter, Nov. 15, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Shotgun houses are named for their rectangular design, averaging 12 feet wide with rooms arranged one behind the other. The back door and interior doors typically align with the front door or enfilade. Double shotgun houses are slightly wider and usually have two back doors and two front doors. It was the most popular architectural style for Southern homes built between the end of the Civil War and the 1920s. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
