| | Architecture Coach: Dormers Shed Light on Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Although they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, all dormers are windows with their own roof, which is set vertically into the roof of the building itself. |
 | | Exposed, extended rafter ends on a hipped dormer tend to signal Craftsman architecture. |
 | | The Craftsman style calls for a hipped roof, a Colonial Revival/Cape Cod a gabled roof, leaving the gambrel pointing toward Colonial Revival/Dutch Colonial. |
