Much of a building’s Storybook character is expressed in the roof design. The roof is often designed to appear thatched with undulating and uneven shingles applied in waving patterns. Steeply pitched roofs of multiple gables with rolled or pointed eaves are accented with turrets and dovecotes capped with conical roofs. (en) A dovecote is a small, decorative shelter for pigeons often built on top of a house. It looks like a receptacle for secret messages from a fairy-tale world, and this whimsy makes up for the fact that no one actually wants pigeons roosting on their house. Dovecotes are especially common in certain parts of the Los Angeles suburbs, on ‘‘storybook ranch’’ homes — houses recast on the exterior to resemble a cottage that one of the Seven Dwarves might live in... as an intern at a historic preservation firm in Sherman Oaks, I was assigned the task of documenting every dovecote within 10 blocks of the office.
