clapboard house
Overlapping plank home
A clapboard house has exterior walls covered with long, narrow boards installed horizontally, each overlapping the one below it.
This construction method, common in New England and throughout North America, creates a distinctive layered appearance while shedding rain effectively: The old clapboard house needed a fresh coat of paint.
