When I added this to the front of my house I was putting on another layer of architecture onto this 108 year old farmhouse. The original porch was an open porch and I had never seen that. The previous owners put storm windows all around the sides of the porch so it became a closed in porch. The present owner, me, took out the windows leveled the floor and added it on to the house as a bump out for the living room with a small closet and and a downstairs bathroom.
It never looked very good having the porch turned into an addition with only one window on the end. I couldn't put windows into it as I added a fireplace and a bathroom against those walls. Nine years ago I added a colonial or Victorian looking porch. It has changed the look of the whole house. It is now an old farmhouse with a fancy bay window and a fancy porch.
