As architectural styles have shifted, architects and builders have invented more ways to build dormers, the little rooms that project from a roof and allow more space and light in the top floor or attic.
Gabled dormers have a peak at the top and a roof that slopes downward on either side. This is the most common type of dormer. The design works well with a wide array of architectural styles, including Queen Anne Victorian, Tudor and Craftsman. Gabled dormers are also found on Colonial Revival and Gothic Revival houses and on houses in the French Eclectic style.
