A veranda or verandah is a porch or long, open room with a roof over it.[1] It can be an open area with a roof that is built around a building at the center. It usually has a line of columns or pillars holding up the roof.[2] There is often a railing around the outside. Verandahs often cover the whole front and sides of a building.[3]
History of term
The word Veranda came to English through India by way of an Indo-Portuguese creole, the word itself comes from the Portuguese varanda which means "long balcony or terrace".
Verandahs in styles of architecture
