Building Description

The renovated structure has a primary long, rectangular, vertical form in its layout. There are minimal levels to the house. Including a second story with a balcony. Though it is worth noting that compared to other examples of this style of build, this structure presents bigger and more profound. There are 2 doors (front and back). It includes a simplistic walk route through the structure which includes a dropdown set of stairs to get to the next level. Its interior patterns are that of high-quality domestic ones, with each room through the walkway being stylized and standing out on its own. On the outside, the blue stands out as the main color. It blends well with the orange-ish accents on the entrance pillars and surrounding windows. Light enters through the windows and additional entrances of the sort. Stucco helps make up the exterior of the structure. In addition wood materials are used throughout. There is some gating placed left of the front of the house. While not necessarily historical or cultural. Its notoriety due to its involvement on television helps propel the attention and the importance of the building type and its style’s kind going forward.
