ABSTRACT:
A dormer structure is provided for a prefabricated modular housing unit. The dormer structure is collapsible so that the modular unit including a first and second floor may be shipped by tractor trailer. The collapsible dormer unit includes a vertical side wall which is pivotably attached to the base unit. A roofing structure is provided as a separate element and is secured onto the base unit during shipment. The collar ties used to support the roof of the house, upon assembly, are secured to the dormer roof structure for strengthening the structure during lifting and shipment. The dormer unit may form one-half of a second story of a house or may be attached to an angled roof portion on the second module of the house.
