   The destination is not the point. The completion is not the point. Enjoy today. If you can't enjoy today, then what is the point ?

   The house is brick, but not ordinary brick. The bricks are half as tall as ordinary brick and are longer and the mortar joints are very fine.

   A unique house in many regards, even if odd, it seems very well crafted.

   Looks like you are correct. Here is a Dutch farmhouse in South Africa of similar style. So Dutch it is.http://www.wynboer.co.za/imagesart/landfig7a.jpg

   fortress...

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!

   Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

   That's what designers call "eclectic" (sounds better than "mismatched" or "quirky" or "odd"). Like someone else said, top looks like mission style--needs a bell in the misddle though. With the posts and balls, maybe "headboard style"?

    I had my money on Piffin's Mediteranian style, but it looks like it's a unique style called "Cape Dutch."

    Where is the building in your picture?

    I don't know, but I know one thing is that it looks better than alot of the McMansions I have seen build in Calif.

    If the price was right, it was well built, and I like the layout, I'd live in it.

   I appreciate unique buildings, even if they differ from my personal taste.That house really caught my attention.
