I first learned the word dogtrot in Harper Lee's book, Go Set A Watchman. She describes Scout's uncle's house as a dogtrot. It's a Southern style pre air conditioning. The house was built with a center breezeway that was open. See here.
This house was a tenant farmer's house at Oak View farm. On either side of the main breezeway there is a room with a fireplace (probably for heat in the winter.) There is a porch in front and back.
