   That's a sweet house. Where is it located?

   Here's one I did some work on some years back with similar columns...

   Steve,

   It's in Bangor , Maine   - surrounded by development of a commercial nature.

   It's one UR never demolished.

   Weren't those the ones Obama had behind him when delivering his acceptance speech in Denver?

   Walter,

   Is it customary in ME to paint a Greek Revival such a deep color?

   Maybe I don't get outside of DC enough :) I'm used to seeing them in white, off-white, and a bunch of pale colors.

   Looks like a nice project.

   Best,
   Steve

   Steve,

   Most of our Greeks are lighter too.

   I think this one was deep colored to emulate brick, of which we have quite a few here.

   I usually like my columns to come all the way down.  Easier for them to carry weight that way ;)

   I like floating columns. Less rot at the base.

   Probably easier to paint too.

   Well, I've seen those plexiglass deck rails, so maybe this is a plexiglass column base and we just can't see it!  :)
