Window painting on balcony door. Indian style.

I learned this typical Indian design in India. My daughter had a phase of trying to scratch this off.
Done with window colours.

This circa 1750's Charleston single house received a total renovation in 1999. As part of the renovation program an iron balcony with a unique design was removed and replaced with a new one. The replacement is a functional balcony while the earlier one was not due to excessive rust and weathering. That balcony design was not replicated, but it was not lost either, since the owners gave it to the Avery Center as an example of African cultural influences in the city's tradition of the building arts.
The quality of the replacement balcony is considered an improvement over what it replaced, but its design is not as remarkable or unique as the one it replaced. The new balcony's level of design is now one of many variations on a similar theme found throughout this historic neighborhood and seen in the details of its historic fabric. Charleston is a city driven by individulistic ideas and inspirations outwardly dislplayed in the unique architectural details found among what might be seen as almost identical buildings. Creativity and experimentation is possible within definable limits, provided those limits mark a broad and well educated market that is in touch with the world around it.
