Hotlanta!

An Atlanta, Georgia bad mansard sent by Richard S.  Study it a bit.  Can you see it?  It's a little hard to see.  In this bulky study of gray, brown and green is a tiny splash of blue and red.  It's a kid's swing hanging from the tree.  Swings say a lot about a neighborhood.  If they're hanging from a tree that means you live in a neighborhood with trees mature enough to handle a swing.  And everyone knows* big trees are awesome.

I don't find this mansard to be quite so bad.  The lot is nice and roomy.  The window proportion is pleasing and the trees soften everything.  I almost wouldn't mind standing the front yard and pushing a small child in the swing.

Nursing Maison

When we put our loved ones into nursing homes, there are so many important things to think about. What will the residents be doing? What kind of nursing care if offered? Is the food good? Are there independent living options?

And the architecture of the roof? Is that important? I say yes. Here we have a bad mansard nursing home that kind of looks like a storage unit. And I feel really bad saying that because nice old people have to live here. The place looks tidy and clean; I am hopeful the operations of the home are as well maintained.

Thanks to S. from Charleston, SC for this bad mansard located in Cartersville, Georgia.
