Chester, VT.
The wreaths are quite fitting for the holiday season, but the house is a far cry from picturesque. The vinyl, the fake shutters, the fire escape, that door! Ouch! At least the house has its porch still. It could be worse, but it could so easily be better, as is the case with many houses. What do you think? The moral of this post: think before you make some crazy renovation.
This post takes a nod from the WTH Wednesday column over at Historic Indianapolis.
Preservation in Pink 
Yikes! They just sorta notched it right in there!
I see things like that stupid door done all the time, but usually by someone who subdivided a house into apartments. Such people see old houses only as a revenue source.
Glad I’m not the only one taken aback by this one!
