It is a roof designed by a Frenchman. As I was told, in France, they were taxed on the number of floors beneath the roof, THUS the Mansard roof was developed which added a floor within the roof design and not taxed. Ingenious!

A mansard or mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof) is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper.

It is a style of roof I don't particularly like. I much prefer a hip or gable.

I have heard it called a French roof by the old timers. I also hear it as a roof known for being on a dutch colonial on a good portion of older homes in our area.
