Pyramidal Cottage – A pyramidal roof is simply an equilateral hipped roof: some with a center point, others with a center ridge, but all are steeply pitched. This style roof generally sits atop a squarish shaped structure. The one-story pyramidal cottage was popular in the South from about 1900-1920.
