Mansard Monday ~ a Second Empire gem in Bangor, Maine. This wonderful example Second Empire style house is one of the many houses illustrating different architectural styles in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
Built from Maine to California, the style is identified primarily by its Mansard roof and shares many features with the Italianate style. The Mansard roof was developed in France and was called a French Roof during the 19th century, when all things French were “en vouge.”
What are your house’s character-defining features? “Restoring Your Historic House” can help you answer this question and give you the information you need to prioritize the preservation of the most important features.
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available from the author in our shop, YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
