  2. Parts of it almost look Roman/Greek style - I think it needs more colour out the front - maybe flowers :-)

    1. Amy, I think there may be flowers in that garden bed in Spring but at the end of Autumn now it's rather sparse.

  3. I like architectural style of the building and its antagonism to the modern background. Nice composition of the picture.

  4. ...Jim, the Victorian style is unmistakable, but the porch roof look oriental. A lovely mix. Thanks for sharing this treasure!

    1. Tom, I didn't see an oriental look there until you mentioned it. :) I do wonder whether it was an influence.
