10. Holly Hill Colonial House
This brick veranda can be seen as you are driving to the house and is to the left of the main part of the building. It is on the north side of the house and is adjacent to the gardens. I imagine that it is quite pleasant on warm days under the trees. As you can see, the house no longer has the overhand as on picture #3.
