Bill Lee sends us this mystery:

"We are buying a home in Atlanta built 12 years ago. It is square (50'x48') in shape and 2 stories (with a basement level, too). It is constructed of hard-coat stucco on the front and rear, with beautiful stone on each of the 2 sides from the ground all the way up. It appears to be a "manor house" in the country French or English style, but I welcome knowledgeable feedback."

Okay... Bill's house is contemporary. But, what historic influences are reflected in its design? Have you seen other houses -- new or old -- similar to this? Use this easy form to send your comments and ideas.
