However, the window openings are consistent with those below and the high parapet may indicate some traditional decoration. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12406464736657343960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-22729783628065630362011-06-05T22:04:04.337-04:002011-06-05T22:04:04.337-04:00Borf?
