Caption:
Rutan-Terhune-Bidwell House | Additional Description: The mansard roof can be seen in this photo. Made popular by French architect François Mansart, it has the roof-line below the level of the top floor. This was a way to reduce taxes, when houses were taxed on the number of stories they had.
