European - Second Empire House Plans

The double sloped, "mansard" roof characterizes the Second Empire house plan.

The double-sloped or "mansard" roof is an easily recognizable feature of the Second Empire home. Thoroughly European in flavor, the style is characterized as majestic because of its tall first story windows, classical pediments, and narrow stature. Inside, the Second Empire house plan is boxy and a practical roof construction provides ample storage space in the attic. Ornamental touches on the roof may include patterned slate and cupolas. Brackets beneath eaves and balconies are another common decoration of this home.

Architectural Features:

  • Mansard roof with projecting dormers, and windows with arched hoods.
  • Decorative elements include wrought iron cresting, patterned roof, brackets, and elaborate detailing and trim.
  • Exterior walls of brick, stone, or wood decorated to imitate stone.
