Roof type

What type of roof is this up top? It had the hatch up top. House built in 1880 or Jae Williams’ DOB :slight_smile:

As always thanks in advance.

mansard

[FONT=Times New Roman]Mansard roof: A type of roof containing two sloping planes of different pitch on each of four sides. The lower plane has a much steeper pitch than the upper, often approaching vertical. It contains no Gables.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Thats what I thought, but the planes weren’t very steep. It was a pyramid hip type with a flat top? [/FONT]
