It really is great! Growing up in Quincy Illinois, the city had lots of very large homes and so many of them had side entrances like this. I learned that these entrances were where the horse-drawn carriages would stop to let the owner and guests out especially when it cold or raining. It gave them a quick way to get inside. Usually the drive next to the entrance led right back to the stables and garage.

Actually, it's gorgeous, Pat. What a grand house and a grand side entrance. It looks very inviting. Thanks for your funny comment on my blog! :)
It is beautiful, and I would love to see the rest of the garden
Have a wonderful day!

How nice that roman architecture is still in use in our time.
It's very okay with me! Stunning and inviting at the same time, with a dash of mystery to it!
I think Sharon's comment is correct. This may have been a carriage entrance. Looks like a lovely home.
It'll do. :-)
It's quite the entrance, very impressive.
It is very nice!
Go to the side door...
Pretty glamours for a side entrance.
It's a very gorgeous side entrance Pat, the front entrance must be incroyable!
