A Mediterranean Makover
We spotted this building on West 9th Street, near Smith, the other day. Before its makeover, it was just a humble but proud Italianate townhouse like its brothers and sisters on the block. Now, well, we can spot several influences: some Spanish tile for the roof; a stucco-looking facade reminiscent of Greece; coral-colored Doric-ish columns,…
We spotted this building on West 9th Street, near Smith, the other day. Before its makeover, it was just a humble but proud Italianate townhouse like its brothers and sisters on the block. Now, well, we can spot several influences: some Spanish tile for the roof; a stucco-looking facade reminiscent of Greece; coral-colored Doric-ish columns, and those mini-balustrades. Looks from this DOB file that they added height and depth to the building back in 2007, and decided to make it stand out from its neighbors as well. Your reviews? GMAP

DIBS, Biff…get off me about at the spelling and grammar. I think faster than I type (and I type fast.)
Biff, still don’t trust you…but when I was in school none of my boyfriedns had cars. I did date a guy with a hog.
BTW – you two didn’t comment about Chocolate Room yesterday, or comment about my comment.
DARN, make that a Nissan (not Toyota) Maxima! Add this to the “Good Jokes Gone Awry” file…
“Maxima cum Laude = Most with honor
I still don’t trust you. Don’t make me look it up.
Just tell me what you mean.”
I was initially meaning that you graduated with the maximum honor. However, now that you’ve put other ideas in my head, I’m wondering if this might more appropriately describe what you did in the back seat of your boyfriend’s Toyota!
I knew eventually, three months or so later, we’d get back to frat boys!!!!!
“I couldn’t become a Tri Delt, there standards were too high” Me neither but I knew the difference between there and their. 🙂 🙂 🙂
DIBS, if you’re asking if I was in a fraternity, the answer is no. If you meant something else, the answer is still no.
BOYS!!!!!
I couldn’t become a Tri Delt, there standards were too high. and the kappa girls said I couldn’t wear my glass pumps to the meetings.
Biff, I don’t trust you with this phrase, ‘maxima cum laude’
I believe translated it’s good – cum laude = great honor; throw in the maxima = great or most.
Maxima cum Laude = Most with honor
I still don’t trust you. Don’t make me look it up.
Just tell me what you mean.
Did you go greek in college Biff?
