Federation houses ask for your approval, and appreciation of their elegance, with... Art Nouveau motifs, their elongated chimneys, and steep gables.

The Gable is the triangular end section of a pitched roof.

Throughout the different housing periods builders have chosen to decorate the gable with a wide range of styles and materials.... 
 * from roughcast to simple timbering, popular in 1920's and 1930's,
 * to elaborate carved woodwork from the [|Victorian]  and [|Edwardian]  periods.

 * A **flying gable** projects well beyond the line of the wall beneath, and can be bracketed from the wall, and decorated.
 * Victorian buildings used a parapet to hide the roof.
 * Federation housing was mostly single-story, so the gable became fashionable again.
 * Some Victorian terraces had a small gable, a '[|Gablet]' in the roofline, and gablets continue in Federation style, usually for ventilation.
