Our post at the end of last week on the new wood-sided modern house that went up recently at 112 Butler Street elicited a lot of feedback from readers, most of it surprisingly positive. As we said in our initial post, we weren’t really sure how we felt about it. Now that we’ve seen these photos of the interior we definitely get it. The closed-off facade, which some people thought was too unfriendly, is more than made up for by the walls of windows on the rear. The 2,500-square-foot house ends up being light, clean and modern. Quite a success and, as one reader pointed out last week, not particularly out of context given the hodge-podge of existing buildings on that street.
