Hints at Western false front architecture

 

These condos have a roof line treatment reminiscent of Western false front architecture. This is the look exhibited by buildings gracing the main street in Hollywood westerns. The buildings feature vertical facades with a square top hiding the simple inverted "V" roof-lines.

The interesting thing about these square tops is window in the square top. It appears to be a working window bringing light into a small room at the front of the attic.

One wonders at that attic space.
