Cupolas

 

Cupolas have been serving man for hundreds of years. The name cupola is usually applied to any small, turret-like projection on the roof of a building.

In earlier times, cupolas would ventilate a building by inducing convection currents. Many of America's early God-fearing framers refused to use lightning rods on their barns as lightning was God's will. They would use cupola ventilators believing that the heat of fresh hay attracted electricity but a good ventilating cupola would repel lightning. Cupolas were used on other buildings and for other reasons, both decorative and functional.

Whatever the stated purpose for a particular cupola, we believe that it is above all, decorative. Its design developed into a folk art as each farmer and craftsman chose to express himself by designing an individual-styled cupola.
