"A good porch is a dear and treasured friend. It holds on to family secrets, keeping them safely hidden in nooks and crannies until it's time for them to be revealed.

"The porch is an American icon, offering both a refuge and a view onto the world-as well as a glimpse into the home and the personality of those who live within. "
