gabled houses

Triangular-roofed homes

Houses with gables—the triangular portions of wall between the edges of intersecting roof pitches.

The term appears in real estate listings and architectural descriptions to evoke traditional or historic character: a row of gabled houses lined the street, the neighborhood's gabled houses date to the 1920s.

Gabled construction is common in Northern European and American residential architecture.
