Strawberry box house

In Canada, a strawberry box house is a house, built during World War II[1] and into the 1950s to 1960s, in a style that uses a square or rectangular foundation. The style gets its name from the similarity to boxes used to hold strawberries. This style has also been called the "Simplified Cape Cod", or "Victory Houses" in the case of certain government advertisements.
