	Mansard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mansard in architecture refers to a style of hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its four sides with the lower slope being much steeper, almost a vertical wall, while the upper slope, usually not visible from the ground, is pitched at the minimum needed to shed water.
		Often the decorative potential of the Mansard is exploited through the use of convex or concave curvature and with elaborate dormer window surrounds.
		A revival of the Mansard occurred in the 1850s rebuilding of Paris.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jules Mansard
		French architect, grand-nephew of François, was originally Jules Hardouin, but took the name of Mansard; was born in Paris, 1646; died at Marly 1708.
