The origin of the gambrel roof form in North America is unknown.[8] The oldest known gambrel roof in America was on the second Harvard Hall at Harvard University built in 1677.[9] Possibly the oldest surviving house in the U.S.A. with a gambrel roof is the circa 1677-1678 Peter Tufts House. Note that the oldest surviving framed house in America, the Fairbanks House, has an ell with a gambrel roof but this roof was a later addition. Claims to the origin of the gambrel roof form in America include: 1) Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and English mariners and traders had visited or settled in to the area of southeast Asia now called Indonesia prior to permanent European settlement in America. In Indonesia, they saw dwellings with a roof style where the end of a roof started as a hip and finished as a gable end at the ridge. The gable end was an opening, to allow smoke to dissipate from the cooking fires. This roof design was brought back to Europe and the American Colonies, and adapted to local conditions. The roof style is still in use around the world today;[10] 2) Seamen who traveled to the Netherlands brought the design back to America;[11] 3) or practical reasons such as a way to allow wider buildings, the use of shorter rafters, or to avoid taxes.[1
