The lively neighborhood filled with children playing in front yards was awesome...provided you could see your children playing!. The small entry stoop provided no means for participating in neighborly activities. A nice, large "friendly" front porch was most certainly in order.
Using the majority of the front plane of the house, and even contemplating a wrap-around off one corner, a nice, long, brick-founded front porch was constructed. Round Tuscan-style columns, wide steps, and a gorgeous slate floor created not only the space for watching their playing children, but also created a place for passer-byers to stop and gaze and the transformation of the front facade from stoop to stupendous!
