I think they did it just to mess with your head John. They knew you walked your dog that way daily. They knew in your world it is all about you! It was purposely done to break your train of self thought!

I hafta agree with Rob. Now, if it wasn't in your neighborhood where you had to look at it everyday, there might not be an OP but then I'd maybe not get my daily quota of postings to look at.

As you said, not a traditional widow's walk at all.
But it was there so that the first owner, the widow Parker, could step out in her diaphanous nightgown and greet the paper boy, then the mailman, then the yard boy who came by after school, then...

Look at the damn ugly French doors below. I think it's a case of 5 narrow glazed doors "falling off a truck" and their new owner not knowing what else to do with the odd number. Calling any of that, including the house itself, architectural is a real stretch!
