You are looking at the veranda and the porch that are behind 18 Spring Street. It's a nice enough area, I guess, but we don't hang out there much.
Here is another view:

The veranda was built in the 20s. It has solid construction. In 1995 we removed the glass panes and in 1997 we had it painted. The glass that we kept is now all down in the basement. I'm not sure what we are going to do with it. The porch is another matter. It is a wreck. It was built in the 40s, and it has no redeeming architectual value. It also seems to be a place where wasps like to build nests. There are two terrible rooms---one is a bathroom, with a cover from a 1941 issue of Field and Streem tacked to the wood, and the other is a closet with a door for a roof. We hope to have the whole thing demolished within the next year or two; until then, it's just kind of scary. It isn't haunted year round, but spirits do frequent the structure from time to time. This second picture also gives you your first good luck at the back of the house. Next summer, we hope to build a deck on top of the veranda. Where do you want to go today? |
