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! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and I would love to see the rest of the garden
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteHow nice that roman architecture is still in use in our time.
ReplyDeleteIt's very okay with me! Stunning and inviting at the same time, with a dash of mystery to it!
ReplyDeleteI think Sharon's comment is correct. This may have been a carriage entrance. Looks like a lovely home.
