Description
This Bay View house is named "Smithsonian" above the steps leading onto the porch. It has a second level porch with flags attached to its bannister. The lower level porch has a swing hanging on chains, a rocking chair, and a few other items decorating the porch. Of special notice is the rolled-up plastic sheeting beneath the eaves. This plastic may be to block occasional chilly breezes common to this area or to keep the rain off the porch to reduce rotting . . . maybe even to reduce the accumulation of snow on the porch during winter months.
This Historic Victorian community of nearly 500 public and private buildings is on the National Register of Historic Places. Every summer, Bay View offers world class presentations of music, theater, internationally renowned lectures and educational seminars, all of which are open to the public. In October 2012, Bay View was awarded with a great honor of being selected as one of America’s “Prettiest Painted Places” by the Paint Quality Institute and is a 'must see' destination.
