White with Green Roofs, Block House and Garage queen just contribute to its presenceThe perfect green paint on the roofs of these two, combined with old white of the houses themselves made them too good to resist, even better for the bleeding of the iron nails against the green.

The roof of the (double faced) house shows losses along the edge on one side, maybe from a mouse
