Dora is a bot -- don't click.

I like this picture of 'Villa Carola' because the sun is shining on the side of the house & you can see most of the shades & shutters have been closed. Reminds me of the likely daily ritual the servants performed to protect the furnishings & keep the house as cool ... or not hot ... as possible. Today we have programmed air conditioning and insulated glazing.

P.S. It's a fixer-upper.

Thanks Ancient -- unfortunately the WSJ online no longer lets you read the full article, just the headline & first paragraph. For those of us who do not have a subscription, can someone supply the Realtor listing? Thanks.

Doug - here's how to get around the WSJ problem. Copy and paste the headline of the article into Google followed by the letters WSJ and a full version should appear in the results. Click and enjoy.

Thanks Zach -- I hope the next owner upgrades with appreciation as to what they have & not be too anxious to put their own stamp on the place.

I asked myself: why didn't I think of your solution? I came up with three answers:
1) I'm technologically still in the 1980s.
2) I'm a quitter.
3) I knew all the time ... I just wanted you to help those poor, ignorant souls who didn't know.
