The neighborhood that I live in was mostly built in the 1920s. Most of the original homes in the neighborhood are being torn down and replaced with 2-4 story townhomes. I'm curious, anyone got any thoughts about this roofing. Several of the homes have or did have this sort of stuff when we moved in.





The reason that I ask is that the 1920s home that we are working on purchasing will likely need to have the roof replaced. We are curious about attractive, period correct and durable roofing options. I've never seen any roofing like this before coming to the neighborhood that we're in now. I would be surprised if it was original as that would make it 90+ years old, but you never know. They don't make things like they used to.

A lot of the central Texas homes have metal roofs, I've been told, due to the durability against hail which is more common farther inland.
