Unusual extended Mansard tower roof.
a copy of the less common Jerkin-head Roof.
The origin of the design dates to medieval times, but was revived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when “Old World” architecture regained popularity. The origin of the name “jerkinhead” is even more unique than the style. While “head” refers to the top, “jerkin” is a reference to a 16th-century medieval sleeveless jacket that was worn as an outer garment by men. The cut-off sleeve concept was then transposed to the gables being cut off, resulting in the “jerkinhead” term.
