There is not single answer to this as it varied by owner. Usually slaves lived in separate houses/dwellings. Wealthy owners often built houses equivalent to poor whites. Slaves of less affluent owners lived in shacks equivalent to those that housed farm animals. Some owners allowed slaves to live in the attic of their homes. There were other arrangements.
