A Very Lively House

This interesting house has features that make it appear to look like a face.  The two rounded windows on the roof look like eyes and the woodwork located over the window resemble a smiling mouth.  When I saw this pictures, I almost noticed the face before the actual architecture.  I would be curious to know […]
