Widow's Walk

A widow's walk is a flat, enclosed look-out platform atop a house, often within a cupola. They are so named because of their association with seafaring. The wife of a mariner would watch for her husband's return from the observation platform on the roof, waiting to see whether she would be widowed by the sea.
