Bill Kibbel Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 It's called a mansard facade. Very common on row homes to conceal the low-slope roof behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey Bill, Does the mansard tile always go to a cap for it to be a facade? If it terminated at a vert wall, would you still call it a facade? I am trying to be serious, even 'tho Lamb may be joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
