Mary, how cool! I love that you've got the architectural elements there as well. I'm trying to learn more about them, too.

an unadorned beauty.
I imagine it was painted at some point, but I rather like this rustic look.

For a rather plain house, they put a lot of work into the entrance. Great post!

Such a cool looking house. I love the ruggedness of it and the pattern of the wood.
