Northern Patio and Entrance to
the Eastern Side of the Knight Homestead
Hi most of the images in this section will have text here, but sometimes due to the size of the image the text is below. Dimensions and comments are always below, toward the bottom of this page.
This
is the proposed entrance area. Notice the patio we hope to up on this
northern end. It will have an area to get into the house and maybe be
covered out a bit so that one could come in from a car and stay in the
dry area. It might be possible to alter the drive way some so that one
could pull up close and the person on the passenger side (or drivers side
if you went up the driveway in the other direction) could get out of the
car in a dry area. At the very least, before any porch roof is added,
or an extension of the existing roof, one could sit on the northern side
of the house and enjoy the summer air. If the Dryer room was gone, then
maybe one could drive up closer to the patio area and the overhang might
also act as a car-port. But I am not moving in that direction right now.
Just an area where one could sit. It might be paved, or if covered it
might be wooden. Either way it would be a way to sit and enjoy the outside.
Please note the area where the propane gas tanks are. They are right near
the Dryer, and yet go along the area only a little way to where the gas
stove is (middle of the patio and in the kitchen) as this is the north
side of the house, and hence hopefully one of the cooler sides. Full
