Modern Addition

This is another pic taken in the fall and it shows one of the wonderful Gothic Revival cottages that were extremely popular in Ontario before 1950. This one has had a modern addition put onto the back but the addition fits very well and doesn't overpower the original cottage at all.

    The addition is fabulous for letting light into these homes that otherwise can be quite dark inside. I agree that it doesn't overpower the original cottage.

    they did a good job blending it well and yet preserving the original cottage.

    That's incredible. I'm sure the addition gives some much-needed space, too.

    This is an architectural mixture of styles that would never occur to me, but I'm such a conservative when it comes to architecture. Somehow the mixture is not offensive as I assume it would be. Great subject for your photo.

    I agree with you. It is quite nice. When I worked in Ohio, I lived in a historic district. Most of the buildings were brick, and additions were required to be in contrasting materials, usually wood and glass, so there was no confusion about what was original and what was an addition. That is what they did here.
