So...- the window tax mentioned above was in the UK. So far as I know there was no window tax here but the small windows were repeated in this house since they had become part of the Georgian style. Similarly, the Georgian era was over when this house was built during Victoria's reign. It is thought it was built in this style because the MacKenzies wished it to emulate their manor homes in their native Scotland.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-62617540810953945032010-08-22T16:57:48.052-07:002010-08-22T16:57:48.052-07:00Thanks JoJo - it also looks so rural when it is ac...Thanks JoJo - it also looks so rural when it is actually on quite a busy corner in a well-settled residential area. <br /><br />Leif - I like the door too - especially the way the wrought iron is in a thistle pattern to recall MacKenzie's Scottish roots.<br /><br />Clueless - apparently the small windows are especially typical of the Georgian style. During that era there was a tax on windows that depended on the size of the windows. The upper floors then were generally given smaller windows since they were likely to be occupied by children and/or servants.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-996148215019250602010-08-22T12:40:25.298-07:002010-08-22T12:40:25.298-07:00It does look like just a facade.

I like how the upper windows carry the same feature as the doorway, but the windows being so small makes me wonder if the rooms on the second floor are very small.Clueless in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-63124400588246405592010-08-22T11:07:49.764-07:002010-08-22T11:07:49.764-07:00What a wonderfully maintained house!
