Hello all...I recently found a very cool picture of the house I grew up
in on Vashon-Maury Island, Washington. It has since been remodeled into
total submission, but it used to look like this:

I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me the style of the
house, ie. Craftsman, whatever. It was built in 1910. Also, what would
you call the architectural detail above the angled (bay?) window?
Anything anyone can tell me would be much appreciated.

Cheers!




Looks like maybe a National style with a little extra Victorian gingerbread
on it. I would call the detail above the window a decorative cornice.
I will be on Vashon Island this weekend for a vintage motorcycle event.
There are still some of those old houses left over there, especially in
Burton.
