New Orleans - Shotgun House - a photo on Flickriver

            Architecturally, New Orleans is not just famous for its wrought iron balconies in the French Quarter.

It's also famous for its shotgun houses.  The house has its rooms arranged one behind the other.

The term 'shotgun' is a reference to the idea that if all the doors are opened, a shotgun blast fired into the house from the front doorway will fly cleanly to the other end and out at the back. 

I'm fascinated with shotgun houses; however, I can't imagine living in something so narrow.
