The Architectural inspiration for this gingerbread house is the American Vernacular style home.  The roof is a simple hip design with two gabled wings, and a shed style roof on the backside.  The house includes a large chimney on the exterior wall and a large porch.

Many of the design elements of this gingerbread house can be elimated or moved, to create a different look.
