More about The Saltbox of the Earth:
“To be called "the salt of the earth" labels an individual as a good and honest person who makes a difference in this world. The 2018 Project Playhouse, though playful in its use of the phrase, will ultimately make a difference in the life of many homeless individuals, thanks to students and professionals who live as the “salt of the earth” through their commitment to this project. The theme of a saltbox house, a traditional New England style, seemed fitting for this year’s project. The saltbox style is named for a popular wooden box used to store salt in Colonial times. The playhouse features the sloping gable roof with unequal sides, large operable windows on both ends and a playful Dutchman door at the entrance. The use of “board and batten” siding adds a transitional look to the “saltbox” as well as the entry porch and cupola. The interior features a window seat and built-ins in addition to other custom design features.”
