House. 1-story side-gable Tudor Cottage with a front chinmey, an asymmetrically-gabled entrance porch, and 6-over-1 sash windows. Alterations include over-all vinyl siding and the enclosure of the side porch as a sunporch. 1937 SM, 1940 CD.
NC Carport. Ca. 1970. Metal carport.
I would say it's probably safe to assume that any child that has lived in this house has tried sliding down the entry roof on some sort of contraption.

Man, now I want to slide down the roof of that front gable. Do you think the owners would mind?

Love it! How could they mind? I'd pay good money to see a grown man attempt it. The fence would stop you at least. How does Sunday work for you? It could be a fundraiser. For your hospital bills.
When I first saw this house, I immediately pictured 2 kid brothers sliding down that slope. Or throwing a ball up on the roof to then have it roll down. It's like GIANT skeeball. I'm sure cats found their way up there. Christmas lights were hung, and icicles dangled from it. I love that a feature on an otherwise small and unassuming house can give the residents in that house very different memories and experiences than their neighbors did in similarly constructed homes.
