Photo of the Day: Subtraction by Additions

I was cruising through town a while ago and stumbled upon this home.


Architectural features like dormers and a front porch can be a desirable thing.  But it is also possible for there to be too much of a good thing.  I think this is a good example.  I am  having difficulty comprehending what happened to this home.  Underneath all that is a cute cottage with a clipped gable roof.  It would appear to be that a series of successive additions have fully metastasized into a full blown case of Appendagitis.  Sometimes, things are better off left in their original form.
