If you’re looking to build a distinctive early New England-style home, explore our Gambrel homes in Hebron, CT. This timeless design is known for its dual-sloping roof, often described as a “barn house” due to its practicality and aesthetic appeal. With its shallow upper slope and steeper lower slope, the Gambrel roof provides extra attic space, making it both beautiful and functional. The oldest known Gambrel roof in America was built in 1677 at Harvard University, showcasing the design’s long-standing appeal.
