gabled house
Triangular-roofed home
A gabled house has a roof with one or more gables—the triangular sections of wall where two sloping roof planes meet at a ridge.
The style is common in traditional residential architecture: The street was lined with gabled houses from the Victorian era.
Gabled roofs shed rain and snow efficiently and create attic space.
