And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Great passive cooling in hot weather. You could see these in old Miami Beach houses (most have been replaced by hotels and condos) and many still in Coral Gables. Rising inside heat was vented via a window lined cupula at the peak of the slopped roof.
When I rebuilt I added a wrap around porch like that. My wife was handicapped and she could walk 32 ft on three sides year round. Wide enough for the snowthrower to come up the back handicapped ramp and clear the porch. Tricky turning it around though.
I like a good porch.

ReplyDeletei have a single story with a porch like that. an old southern home.
ReplyDeleteA large porch like that needs a joggling board for the kids.
