Saltbox Roofing
A Saltbox Roof is a gabled roof has asymmetrical roof faces and the asymmetry produces one facade that is two stories high dropping to a single story or story and a half on the opposite side of the building.
The design is very simple, yet provides better thermal insulation and water-proofing than other roofs. A drawback is the limited amount of available attic space.
Named after its resemblance to saltboxes used in Colonial Times, saltbox roofs are typical of Colonial architecture in New England.
Often a rectangular home was built and the portion was added to the rear of it afterwards. In fact, the saltbox was the most widely used expansion of the basic plan in 17th-century New England.
