30 Clifford St.

[cramerro]

I walked by 30 Clifford again today, and decided I would try to settle the gable debate. Frankly, to the naked eye, it is hard to tell. But I snapped a couple of photos and overlaid a couple of lines to show the relationship of the gables to the windows. From that, it appears the left gable is definitely off-kilter, and the right possibly also, but only a little. Sorry for the truck parked in front, but I think you get the "picture" from the pictures.

You are correct, and the left one is much worse. To add to the visual impact, the fact that the first floor facade includes the 1-2 foot 'jut' out to the right side makes you feel like the whole bottom got shifted off center from the gables. I would have made that extra first floor piece visually separte from the rest of the first floor facade...

I'm just glad its a bar. When i first saw it in its recent state I throught for sure it would be a strip club, what with the smaller first floor windows and small door opening.
