The architecture is such that all the windows and doors open on either side of the house, producing a wonderful cross breeze, even in the summer. Plus, the high ceilings make it so that the heat rises. It's a glorious house -- I'm so glad you posted on it!DC by Designhttp://dcbydesignblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-10056573111627629782010-05-07T23:38:22.634-04:002010-05-07T23:38:22.634-04:00Whoa Nelly...what a beautiful spot for a wedding! ...Whoa Nelly...what a beautiful spot for a wedding!
