A traditional style porch addition and new bay window transforms the look of this early 20th century city home. Square columns taper in the upper two thirds.

The deck slopes 3/8" per foot to shed water. This creates a traditional look and if back-primed, installed to shed water and have proper ventilation underneath it will last a long time
