Question about tiling the bathroom now -

[hedgehog]

5. I'd have to call it a transitional Italinate -

clapboard instead of stucco, a porch with limited gingerbread. It was built by a middle class working farmer. There used to be a very steep back staircase up to a handyman's room that was never finished inside until a brief conversion to an up and down duplex. There are many similar houses in the area. Some have had the flat roofs modified, others were built with a hidden peak - just steep enough to shed water. Flat roofs really don't work in the rain shadow/snow belt of Lake Ontario. Trust me though - we won't be re-muddling!
