It was/is quite the building style here in the Connecticut Western Reserve, and I have many to look at. I haven't seen one worth a million dollars, though, and certainly none with a swag of vegetation. Is that authentic? Harry Potter wouldn't need vines to get from the ground to the second floor. Although I've never equated Tudor architecture with Harry Potter, either.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-51289838490249769312014-11-14T03:47:50.407-08:002014-11-14T03:47:50.407-08:00The facade looks a bit busy, but I guess they just...The facade looks a bit busy, but I guess they just haven't discovered Buddhism yet.
