In the dog days of summer, I obviously forgot it, and this post is obviously enhanced with it!

There is no building I like better than the Derby summer house. While I realize they weren’t going for a slavish copy, the new one, with its off-set street facing garage, and its wide drip eave in the pediment, and poorly proportioned pilasters, leaves me a tad cold (the interior gives me a downright chill). The original’s single second floor room, with its delicated woodwork, perfect proportions and cove ceiling is so lovely.

I think I’ve sent this link to you before in a different context, so forgive the repetition, but the gigantic Edward Stotesbury summer ‘cottage’ at Bar Harbor had two wings that were blown up versions of the Derby summer house—beautifully detailed, but the exquisite tight proportions of the original were lost in the up-sizing. http://thedowneastdilettante.blogspot.com/2009/12/summer-delirium-colonial-style-part-2.html
