Windsor Shades - Neatorama

Look at that massive chimney! Can you imagine the size of the fireplaces inside? This is Windsor Shades in King William County, Virginia. In colonial times, it was a tavern, one of George Washington's favorite hangouts. Read more about this unique house at TYWKIWDBI. Link

Frankly my dear Watson you'r wrong. i see multiple trees and bushes.
Maybe the B/W photo and the missing leaf makes the trees invisible to you, some kind of wierd/neat colorblindness maybe?

Judging from the windows in it it's a double fireplace and probably normally sized inside, but the chimney is indeed huge.

Actually now that I look it's probably a quadruple, hence the size of the chimney. Two fireplaces downstairs and two upstairs.
