Porch Railings With Curved Balusters – House Parts We Love
Arlington Multi-Family House with Curved Porch Balusters
Some people look at the whole – others are taken in by the parts. With houses there are all sorts of unique, charming or unusual details that attract me. Don’t ask me why but I really love curved porch balusters. I don’t see them all that often but for some reason there are a number of houses with curved balusters lining the porches in Arlington near the Capitol Theatre on Mass Avenue and the nearby side streets.
The Arlington houses are two-families built, I would guess, around 1910 or so. Often there are front porches on the first and second level. The curved balusters lines the porches on both floors. I just love the look and have coveted those multi-families for years. The Capitol is a super movie theater and the surrounding neighborhood with its leafy streets lined with handsome houses is a very popular location for Arlington real estate buyers.
I don’t know anything about the history of these houses – perhaps one builder – who really liked porch railings with curved balusters too – built all of them. If I find out more info I’ll add it here or if by chance you know something about these houses please let me know.
