Box-framing is a common type of vernacular architecture utilising post and beam framing and wattle and daub walls. Especially common during medieval Tudor and Medieval periods, these "black and white" houses were originally pinkish or yellow in colour. However during the 19th century Victorian era, it become common and desirable to white-wash the wattle and daub.
