This brick home on a secluded lot on Edmond Street has an interesting steel shingle roof. Although the roof is modern, it must follow the original house lines. That flat section at the top looks like other roofs I’ve seen where there’s an access to the roof from the top floor to look over the surrounding area. I’ve heard it called a “widows walk” – explained as a vantage point where a woman can look to see if her husband is coming home from the war. This one must have served an extended family. Below is another shot displaying the roofline of the house and garage.
