The Timeless Appeal of the Gambrel Roof
The Gambrel roof has been a defining feature of New England architecture for centuries. The oldest known Gambrel roof in America was built in 1677 at Harvard University. Often called a “barn house” due to its dual-sloping roof, this design is both elegant and practical. The steeper lower slope and shallower upper slope create spacious attic areas, adding valuable height and storage space to the home.
