" The architectural style of this house is shingle style very popular at the you know eighty's and ninety's but like any house that's almost a hundred years old this house has seen some damage and it -- some remodeling. Much of what's on the front facade is original we're lucky to have the beautiful windows eight panes of glass over to. And it's you know that kind of glass that really ripples when you walked by -- and of course the shutters are still in place on many of the locations on the facade. You're looking at -- gambrel end this process to gambrel roof that intersect so of course you've got gable ends that are really gambrel lands and some of the shingle up there looks to be a little bit damaged but for the most part it's in good shape. If you look down here. But the sidewall. Flares out which is a way of shedding the weather the rain et cetera. And there are spots where you'll see some damage but I don't think this is a house that has to be totally strip -- every single I think there's a lot of repairs begun its run at the foundation is really pretty. -- suspected the type of slate I'm not sure what kind. And there's been a fair amount of landscape work that's been done on the front garden and it looks really really pretty so we'll have to do. Lots to conserve it. Look over here at this end of the house shingle style houses. Attempt to blend the of the roof with the side wall so that there's no real differentiation. And here -- really failed because you've got so many. Different lines intersecting. Perhaps they've added some of these gutters after the house was built but you've got three conductor pipes coming straight -- and and you also have the electrical service which was. Probably -- dog just in the last five or ten years from the look of it be nice to be able to have that underground. At this end of the house you have another gambrel roof in this one this gambrel and it. Overhang the sidewall by about two feet and it's supported at either end by a bracket that's also she tin shingles very pretty little curve there. Let's look around back. This back corner of the house has the original kitchen area and that's why at some point a deck was that it here but look at the condition of the sidewall and the roof is over here -- especially at the point where the second floor is -- marketed by the scores nonaligned. Which incidentally is the the overhang in the gutter and goes around three whole sides of this house. Quite a bit of damage water damage and some rot is evident just to the naked guy not you don't have to get up there -- you know it's in bad shape. But there's a nice sunny backyard and there's -- usual touches you know. Clearly this is an architect's attempt at camouflage in that stone foundation for some reason. And probably done in the last ten or twenty years it looks kind of oriental."

" What do you think of the condition of the house back here. Well this side of the house is -- in the worst conditions facing south and shingles. Because constantly wetting and drying -- have warped and curled."

" And probably the best things not to selectively replace the shingles on the side. But to strip the whole side and start again what about that fire escape but there well you remember and it. After the war a lot of houses got broken up into apartments and there was an apartment built on the third floor probably in the forties. And the code require that should have a fire escape because there's only one means of egress yes now Richard converting this back to a single family house yes you really don't need this fire skin and it just as a."

" Dangerous point of entry for burglars right and I intend to turn that third floor back into Tenet teenagers face. So we'll get rid of that. -- the other unusual thing about the back of the house is this -- You know how do you explain this this addition here."

" Well in the seventies."

" They had a major renovation to the house where they enlarged the living room hot and so -- push the living room to the south."

" Almost doubled in size and from the inside that's great. There's a very nice living room -- but they really didn't do anything to blend this into the outside of the house they just took the volume and."

" Put a wall around it put a flat roof on it and said. That's and kept more of this camouflage. Would kind of to give it -- an architectural field but it really nothing but a box with a flat roof on it right that's correct. Could it be changed somehow to blend better with the lines of the -- brown and off well."

" If you go back and say what was the original architects of done they probably would have."

" Dealt with this the same way they've worked in the rest the house and continued the belt line so that they might have done is taken the soffit and -- wrapped it around this. Three sided box and continued the roof around also. As a hip. And tried to blend it into the bottom of the house instead of this thing which is obviously added on."
