Double Slope Roofs. — Double slope roofs receive different names accord- 

 ing to the construction of their ends. The end of a double slope roof 

 may be built in one of two ways. If terminated by a roof-slope the roof 

 is said to be hipped (Fig. 49), but if the end walls are carried up to the 

 peak or ridge of the roof the latter is then called a gabled roof (Fig. 50).
