MATERIALS THAT BUILD CHARACTER

Ingram says an important element in achieving this historic look was the use of

antique brick for the home’s front walkway, foundation piers, and back patio, which

masons laid in an imperfect pattern for added character. A metal roof nods to

the rural architecture of the area, but smooth shiplap in the gable gives a dressier

contrast to the rest of the exterior’s layered lap siding. Â
