Thomaston?
"There can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state…Socialism is in its essence an attack not only on British enterprise, but upon the right of ordinary men and women to breathe freely without having a harsh, clammy, clumsy tyrannical hand clasped across their mouth and nostrils" -Winston Churchill

Center St. in Bangor
It was a common feature so many towns likely have a similar one .

You might also want to do a search for an old thread from 3-4 years ago in the photo section. I think I titled it Achitetural features or arch details

Walter this house is all feature... I didn't clip it out of a mag, either, it's around the corner from my parent's old place.

Come on, that's not real.

What a waste...that could have been a nicely designed house...
(post #130132, reply #12 of 1347)
It's real, and I think it's spectacular.

was wondering where you wuz...
(post #130132, reply #17 of 1347)
I'm loving all of these photos. I think I saw that house in Dwell Magazine. Obviously, they have window washers!
(post #130132, reply #18 of 1347)
Two things?
1)What is the finish at the step back gables? From the picture, I couldn't tell. It looked weird.
2)How did they flash at what looks like (for the lack of a better term) a parapet that is almost flush with the roofing.
(post #130132, reply #20 of 1347)
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... :)
Is tha tglass for the short walls between the step backs?
(post #130132, reply #27 of 1347)
I just took the pics, but it it looked like reflective glass from the street.

I agree with you. I love the architecture of Hugh Newell Jacobson. I think many of the homes he has done are spectacular.

What direction does that window wall face?

An octagon house? I like all the chimneys.
San Francisco has some octagon houses...

A lot of step flashing needed for that re- roof !!!
Nice example -- thanks , Walter

That house was designed by Hugh Newell Jacobson. It was written up in numerous mags when it was built. Then he was in his "pavilion" period. Did other similiar houses.
