No fat bulbous, ill proportioned Home Depot columns used here.Look at the slender tapering delicacy of those porch pillars and the beautifully proportioned Chippendale style mullioned windows in the dormers. They were as finely crafted as the federal mahogany cabinetry of its day.What can Bobby Scarano, the architectural scourge of Brooklyn,ever build that could top this ?The clumsy hands of many so-called architects of his type is, unfortunately, evident everywherethese days .
this awesome abode was designed to resemble a ship, right down to some small details: the canon on the lawn and a life preserver tacked to the wall by the front door.
ps there's even a balcony (or poop deck) on top of the roof.
