The Upright and Wing house plan is a 19th?century American vernacular type in which a tall, gable fronted upright block is joined to a lower, perpendicular wing or ell, producing an L- or T-shaped plan. The upright typically holds the parlor, stair, and main bedrooms, while the wing contains the kitchen and secondary rooms. Both masses carry separate gable roofs, with later examples allowing the wing roof to intersect the upright's slope. Though fundamentally a non-stylistic folk form, builders often added Greek Revival touches — pilasters, cornice returns, wide entablatures — and in some regions Queen Anne or Italianate details such as bay windows or decorative shingling. Emerging around 1830-1850 in New England and spreading west with migration, the type remained common through the late 19th century, usually built by local tradesmen and often expanded in stages to meet household needs. - AsNotedIn
