Weathered

This unrestored window was located next to the old door below. I don't know if they are going to renovate these, too, but I sort of doubt it. They really added a nice flavor of how the property used to look.

This is so beautiful - the delicate pattern engraved around the window sets it off perfectly. I'll ditto the "sublime" comment ! BV

Have to agree with Will. The character of this window is sublime. Beautiful shot. V

The new versions are beautiful, but I love the character of this weathered one. V

Beautiful decorations and details. Very well photographed. Hope they leave it as is, because it adds so much atmosphere. "V"
