Porch Envy aka Claire Torture
As a I walked to down to the new cheese shop* on Main Street in Medford to grab a little cheese to go with my lunch of leftovers I noticed one of my favorite houses on Union Street.

An IBM for Christmas

The shelf turns three times and I was only able to get two of the sections in this shot.
