The Mile Square City Rooftop

As I mentioned before, we're staying with the in-laws in Hoboken this week. This is the view out of the window of the room I'm working in. That's a three-story apartment building with a very strangely shaped roof. It looks like it's about to collapse, but it's all rather recent and apparently solid. It's shaped to funnel water into a drainhole behind the skylight. Very practical, but it just doesn't look like a roof "should".
