In villages around the world, architectural elements commonly mark the transitions from public to private areas. In this paper, the architecturally suggested private and public domains within 19th Century Zuni are compared with ethnographic records and historical photographs of Zuni. Roof‐top terraces receive special attention: some few rooftops may be semi‐public areas; most are semi‐private; some are actually private. The similarity of the Zuni architectural pattern to a more general pattern suggested by architects suggests that the same principles of architectural detail can be applied to understanding the divisions of public and private spaces in different times and different places
