The Charleston single home and the Victorian home have many similarities in social and work function. However both uniquely show their relationship to the time periods in which they were built. The Victorian plan features a more affordable residence with an ornate French roof. The French roof, also called mansard roof, is characterized by two pitches on each of the four sides of the roof. The lower slope is so steep that it appears almost vertical while the upper slope is often almost horizontal and not easily visible from the ground. A French roof offers more space in the upper level of the house than a traditional gable roof. The roof itself is the most unique feature of the home's exterior. The highest quality slate provides a beautiful clean shiny finish. While the use of balustrade and cornice conspicuously decorate the roof. The balustrade gives the impression of a porch or terrace built on the roof of the house. The cornice located at the bottom of the shingle provides a contrasting decorative overhang between the slate roof and the house's siding.

The connection between these two spaces is distinct because it offers the homeowner the ability to enjoy both a closed layout and an open layout on the first floor. This allows the first floor recreational space to be more flexible.
