What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Architecture Pays Tribute to the Tax Man
The shotgun house in New Orleans can trace its roots directly to tax policy. First, taxes were levied on street frontage, so the houses were kept narrow and deep. As tax revenues fell because of all of these narrow houses, the tax man started to levy taxes on the number of rooms, with hallways and closets counting as rooms. The solution, eliminate hallways and closets.
