Thank you
GaylordWilshire for your kind reply. I found the Burlington neighborhood postcard image particularly nice as, even though the houses are in a variety of styles and one, one and a half or two stories, there is a cohesiveness of scale that results in a very pleasing rhythm and overall effect, even though the architecture isn't particularly distinguished. Too many of our blocks have had their scale ruined by unfortunate infill apartments, commercial intrusions, McMansions, etc., the result, in the main, of thoughtless zoning changes.
