I particularly like the way you continue the line of Roman columns with the industrial chimneys - nicely spotted. Your daughter deserves her painted glass windows. Our old houses here are full of them, but it is quite easy to learn. The arch of that window may be due to the Crusaders. But the idea of pointed arches was around in the Islamic world before it came into European Gothic. So perhaps it was originally an Islamic building, as it looks to be now. It is certainly not Roman. -- Cheers, Bob
