And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street

What a remarkably daring design, cantilevered bays and gables, seemingly supported by Italianate block modillions, corner brackets and story-high corbels.

Sadly the owners have obscured the porch area with a bum awning (beneath the cornice), and masked the lower half of the windows in the front gable with an off-center trellis. (One hopes the trellis merely serves as a short term child proofing device.)

Still the sense of movement, part ropey vortex, part incipient flower is as sudden and electrifying as a 3-D movie scare.
