THE BROTHERS GRIMM ARE SMILING

This particular architectural treatment resembles a facade. Since it is on the side of the building, it does not officially qualify as a facade. In fact, it is strictly ornamental. The doors do not open and Rapunzel  will never let down her golden hair from above. But,  it certainly adds character to an otherwise ordinary side of a building. Kudos to the person responsible for doing this. I smile every time I pass by.

    Great idea relized with a few simple things. The effect is quite good on the building and the funny part has to be kept in mind!

    That is nice! I like those pale colors they used on the doors and shutters.

    I think that is a great idea. I like it when anyone uses their imagination. MB

    It does spruce it up, doesn't it - but it IS funny!

    Interesting. I think I would like it better if it did open. Or, they could put a cutout of a woman with long hair?

    It certainly LOOKS intriguing. I looks real to me...but I'm easily fooled. ;-)

    Maybe they ran out of money? Or had dreams for the future? Keep us posted.

    I think it looks like one of those closing doors over a moat.

    But let us know if Rapunzel makes an appearance!

    that's a nice piece. I have to revisit the Godfather - your fav - to see why it fits with your biography and your sentiments.
