On my recent trip north, we passed this house on the St Lawrence, east of Kingston, Ont . We stopped to look at it. We could see it was loved, but not being lived in. A women, most likely 70ish, came hurrying up the bike path that ran by it when she saw me taking the pictures of it. She hoped I was the new owner who bought it six years ago from the States. No such luck. Her great grandfather built it. The copper roof, paint color, window shapes, shutters and proportions were all lovely, as was the stone work. She said it had a beautiful wooden portico with a porch on top to view the river better. The view is now somewhat obscured by trees, but I loved it. Never know what is off the highway, so we always poke about. Patti
