THE BACK PORCH

The original porch at the back of the house, in our opinion, was cheaply added probably in the 70's and not in keeping with the rest of the house.  It had a large unsympathetic window facing north and an entrance door around the side.  The whole thing was very tired, worn and in need of a replacement.

above:  (after) You can see from this photo, that with the porch and main back door open, it goes into the dining room.

Four panels were taken out and glass added.  This helps let in light.
