Stop 07: Mansard Roof House

Built in 1883. The Mansard Roof House is constructed in the Second Empire style and is notable for its mansard roof, a steep, decorative metal roof crowned with a cast iron railing of Fleur-de-lis design. Frank W. Thornton built the house. This house is the only good surviving example of this style of residential architecture in the Fayetteville area.
