clapboarded
Overlapping wooden planks
Clapboarded describes a building covered with clapboards—long, narrow wooden boards installed horizontally with each board overlapping the one below.
The style is traditional in New England and other parts of the American Northeast: a white clapboarded farmhouse, the clapboarded churches of colonial towns.
