question
The other day I saw a house with a charming sign out front that read "Blue Gables." Of course this reminded me of the great classic "Anne of Green Gables," which of course begged the question... what in the world is a gable?ga·ble [gey-buh
l] –noun Architecture. | 1. | the portion of the front or side of a building enclosed by or masking the end of a pitched roof. |
| 2. | a decorative member suggesting a gable, used esp. in Gothic architecture. |
| 3. | Also called gable wall. a wall bearing a gable. |
now we know.
