Usually, type of house of stilts is built on the river bank face to the main. This house is completed with bengkilas room, to held the ceremonial dan celebration or some important meeting. Actually, among many house of stilts, the limas house has the similarity because it is stood by the pillars. But, the house of stilts has no ladders.
