is there a specific name for the enclosure which covers the end of the stairs & door that exits onto a roof? (on a mill or factory building circa 1900)
thanks
Not quite sure what you are talking about but are you maybe talking about a "hatch?"
I think an image would explain here more like 1000 words.
I think this is what you are talking about.
Check out this thread by Ken Hamilton
starting at about page 22-23

yes; thank you. page #22, fourth post down, where the stairs exit the building through the little doghouse looking structure. is there a specific architectural name for that? it's in all the film noir movies when the bad guy runs through the building and onto the roof. it's everywhere - except in my google searches!
Speaking of which,
Where is Ken Hamilton???? Master modeler extra-ordinary!!
Has anyone heard anything from him in the last few years???
He is still building models and people buy them as art. Some of our guys seem to have wandered off to post on Facebook and among them is Ken. -- Russ

Back to the question...I always called it and heard it referred to as a doghouse. :-\
