This transformation of my own house was to accommodate a growing family while still staying in the wonderful neighborhood where my children were born. I removed the hip roof of the 1922 foursquare and replaced it with an extended gable & two very large dormers. The dormers house a master bath on the North and a home office on the South. The extended gable towards the backyard shelters our master bedroom. Two sleeping porches were added underneath the extended gable to accommodate summer guest overflow.
