Rustic metal siding

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:02:49+00:00

This product… “Truten”… (of which I learned about through one of our members here at HandmadeHouses… thank you Chuck) is a metal application that has been rusted and sealed… has some real potential to create an attractive home exterior. I’ve yet to find an attractive home design coupled with this material, but I think the result of such a combination would be eye catching, durable, and low maintenance.

Historic home of Walter Reed

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:02:48+00:00

The home of Dr Walter Reed, in Gloucester Virginia.
One chimney, to heat the home.
The other, to cook the meals.
What could be finer?

Age is beauty

Stonework improves with age.
Build yourself a stone home.
Then give it a century, or two, and see how pleased you are with the result!

Wide hewn logs

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:02:46+00:00

A cabin with huge, wonderful, logs.
All hewn with an axe.
And, with half-dovetail notches in the corners.

Large trees were common back when most of these historic cabins were built, and still today wide logs are available with a little bit of looking. I’ve wondered about why more cabins were not made of wide logs like these are, and even wider ones… the only thing I can come up with is the practicality of working with logs… it’s much harder to hew a really wide log… and it’s much harder to lift a really wide log.

A sweet little cottage home

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:02:45+00:00

A house that is cute… and shy.

Just barely peaking above the fence line.

A modest home… even for it’s day… yet it has two masonry chimneys, a metal roof, wood siding, a large front porch, and attractive windows… all features missing in most new homes today selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Adam Thoroughgood Home

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:02:44+00:00

Here is the Adam Thoroughgood house… perhaps one of the most recognized of historic American homes.
I’ve never been to see the Thoroughgood home, but I did once have a client who had an exact replica of this house built for himself. That house, was… amazing… much more visually impacting than this photo could ever hope to reveal.
The combination of good design, handmade brick, and a slate roof, makes for a fine home.
