Hipped

The hipped roof was occasionally constructed on Federal style structures, which dated from the late 18th century to about 1830.

The hipped roof was revived in the 19th century. Many 1880s and 1890s Queen Anne style structures featured hipped roofs, usually with an irregular form and a tower attached, and a large number of Colonial Revival structures were constructed with hipped roofs during the early 20th century.
