Hello!
Hm... The house on the left with the brown roof looks... odd.

Hi Jojo,
English cottages had heavy hewn timber frames. The spaces between timber posts
and beams were filled with wattle (woven twigs) and daub (mud plaster). And the
roof was thatch.
The French had closely spaced timber posts. Poteaux-en-terre or
Poteaux-en-sole. Which is, posts directly in the ground, or posts on a stone
base.
Both of these types of timber framing were used in early American settlements.
There were other types of construction by the Dutch and Spanish.
