 Definitely not a widow's walk unless the widow is a Lilliputian

Not sure what this decorative fencing is for. Perhaps it to keep pigeons from falling off the roof?

 To guard against ________  (fill in the blank)

    Pure "gingerbread" is my guess. It's attractive, but I'm sure glad I don't have to maintain it. :-)

    It's very well designed, even for pigeons too... health and safety wise!

    Neat house!

    To guard against Tom Cruise of course. The demented couch hopper is too short to get over those.

    It reminds me of a doll house for some reason. It's a grand old place.

    I guess it's just there for decoration. It does look like an area where birds could gather and have a party. :)

    What a great old house! I love all the wood trim on it and the wrought iron fences. I guess they're just decorative.

    The wrought iron trim is beautiful, even if it is only decorative.
