Bout done shat my pants when I saw this! Great architecture and overall aesthetic.

A little nit, but I will point out a fundamental building challenge in today's trades. Take a look at the brick arch patterns over the garages. See those wavy lines? Notice how it's more like 6-8 bricks in a straight line then a several degree turn for the next 6-8? You'd have to go back about 40 years and this arch pattern would have been perfectly oval with each brick rotating a single degree...
