Aspects of Entries can probably go on for a few more posts, but I intend to make this the last - just a quickie regarding front entries with nice porches. Sometimes your nice front porch gets overshadowed by the lengthened stair and resulting weird proportions, after raising a house. A simple solution is to make the entry at the ground level and make the porch into a balcony.
This is what we plan to do on 62nd Street. The Delaney House there has a very nice porch, with simple columns and Victorian detailing at the eaves of a substantial looking roof. We wanted to preserve the look of the porch, but change the Entry to be at grade. In this case the decision to enter at grade was also due to handicap accessibility issues.
