The "Mansard' Roof.

People who have recently had occasion
to visit the leading cities OF this country,
will have noticed the extent to which the
style of roof called the "Mansardp roof
is gaining ground New houses are very
generally Supplied with this roof, and the
roofs of old buildings are being demolish
ed to be replaced by it. This ruoi-var-
lousy kuown by the titles Of Crib" roof,
"French" roof, and ''Maosard roof-waS
the invention of celebrated French
architect of the name of Francois Man
sard, who was born III Paris in 1898. Il
has undergone many notifications since
The original form as FIRST introduced was
generally one story, but occasionally of
two or three stories high In the latter
case the upper stories ia twere constant
ly lower in proportion ascending towards
the peak of the roof; and the windows
were small dormers, not mach better than
loop holes, meant fer climmering light
in, and the ventilation Of stOwage cham
bers or mere lofts. The lower story, in
the roof, thatis, the first story above the
main boy Of the structure, WAS always
equal to aud quite as desirable as either OF
those Immediately beneath it. The form
and construction of these old French
roofs are always such as to secure a plumb
or perpendicular wall within the rooms,
with a very trifing loss of space, the incli-
nation from a vertical line, in the entire
altitude of a story, being scarcely more
than the thickness Of the walls.
This ancient style of the Mansard roof
has been improved and modified to the
point of combining great architectural
beauty, externally, with economy OF space
and ucatness Of finish internally. Depart
ing from the original idea Of an additional
range of rooms with horizontal ceilings
and walls doplon,j, this roof is now
frequently carrid up in the same material
as forms the walls, with highly finished
balustrades, etc. The smaller windows
are oval and sometimes round, with cxter-
Tor loop-holes for ornament. The chin
ney-stacks, carried up to a considerable
height, are usually marked feature of
the Partisan modern Mansard roof Slate
is commonly employed for the covering,
with tin for all cutters and weathering.
Balustrades, as elsewhere mentioned, are
seldom omitted in these roofs by the
French. This, one of the most salient
and indispensable characteristics, is en-
tirely overlooked in most of the Mansard
roofs in this country.-AG1cricda Artj
