gables
Triangular wall ends
Gables are the triangular portions of wall between the edges of a sloping roof.
The shape is distinctive enough that gable describes any similar triangular architectural feature: a house with decorative gables, the gabled roofline.
A gable window sits within such a structure.
Anne of Green Gables takes her name from the farmhouse's green-painted gables.
