When this home in the German Village Historic District of Columbus, OH was in need of a new roof, the homeowner sought a product that would appeal to the preservationist nature of the area. Empire Slate Beveled Edge was selected in blend of Manhattan Midnight Wide Rangeand Freeport Federal Wide Range. Wide Range, also referred to as Wide Spec, means the tiles are manufactured in three shade variations of the same color. As a result, this roof has a blend of six different colors.
