rustic

King Edward Blvd, just west of Cambie St

Vancouver has many character homes, although this one has a particular rustic charm...modeled after a Cotswold cottage, with the undulating flow of the roof meant to mimic thatch, it is one of only three built by Brenton T. Lea during the 1940s

The look of thatch without the attendant critters. Good idea. I think I see Frodo coming out the door. V
