Connally EA. 1960. The Cape Cod House: An Introductory Study. University of Illinois, Department of Architecture. Urbana, Illinois
This report presents the results of a survey on a type of traditional American architecture, the Cape Cod house. It was written at the University of Illinois and published in a journal (see cross-reference). Use of the term was first documented by president of Yale College when he visited Cape Cod in 1800 and recognized that the houses shared an identifiable architectural character. The report focuses on the traditional buildings of the Lower Cape that date to approximately 1750-1850. It draws upon existing publications and field study to describe the development of this building type in the region, with explanation of its characteristics and standard variations. Specific examples are included.
