Reader Wes Baker ( misirlou@cox.net ) sent us this
interesting speciment with the following note
This
monstrosity is situated in a new subdivision in northern Virginia
called Lorton Station. It’s part of a group of huge townhouses that
are built close enough together to be considered condos for government
accounting purposes, yet far enough apart to be sold as single family
houses. It went up maybe two years ago, and cost about $500,000.
The strange thing is that I think the bricklayer aligned the bricks
inside the window openings with the brick courses in the wall facade,
rather than just stacking bricks in an empty window space. In other
words, this was probably intentional, and not the result of the
buyer complaining about not wanting windows facing the street or
something like that.
The real genius touch was putting those shutters on!
It really puts across the idea of warm cozy domicile here!
