A hipped roof of steep pitch is present in most <br />examples, although one subtype may incorporate a gabled roof in association with aconical-roofed tower. Tall chimneys are often <br />seen, as are dormers, which can emerge from the roof or be set flush with the wall, breaking the cornice. Arched openings for doors <br />and windows are common. More formal versions feature symmetry, Renaissance detailing, and quoins at corners and around arches. <br />Examples based on more rural prototypes are generally asymmetrical. Exterior walls may be stucco, brick, or stone, and maybe <br />^~torned with half-timbering. Windows are usually casements in type.
