All this information belongs at Attic, and this should be a redirect. There is no "Attic style", and the generic term "attic" at the top of a house derives from this usage. --Wetman 23:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the English use of the term Attic is ambiguous and generally describes the room inside of the roof and not the part of a facade like it´s described in this article. Maybe the article could be renamed to Attic (facade). The space inside the roof and that part of the facade both have somehow to do with the roof, but are not the same thing, so it doesn´t fit into the article Attic. In other languages the distinction is clearer.--87.159.71.65 (talk) 15:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
