Home > Context > Property Types > Outbuildings > Description Outbuildings (2.2)Description (2.2.1)Outbuildings in Elizabeth City survive from the 1840s until 1942, with the majority built after 1890. The vast majority are of frame construction and most are covered with weatherboards. A small percentage are covered with asphalt siding, and an even smaller percentage by aluminum or vinyl siding; most of the latter are garages. For discussion, outbuildings are divided into two types: those with domestic uses such as smokehouses, dairies, privies, and kitchens, and those with transportation functions, namely carriage houses, stables, and garages. |
