another image in the continuing irregular Grove cottage porch series. 

this cottage is the smallest in the Grove and is considered the oldest.  somewhere along the way the front doors have been blocked off so nowadays the porch is used only by cats; nonetheless it is an excellent example of early Grove porch design.  Bittersweet Cottage is among the many whose porches once looked like this but were since expanded. 

note that the outer posts are square section while the ones at the L rear were turned on a lathe and have decorative brackets.
