What is going on here?
-Window openings have been altered with a scale too small for the size of the home
-Windows have been removed and/or covered– note there is no rhyme, reason or symmetry to the placement of windows.
-There appear to be three entrances.
-The configuration of the windows are not consistent from one floor to another.
-Front porch and spindles are gone.
-Porch floor appears to have a gulf between it and house entrance.
-Homes of this era would have had trim around windows and doors.
Possibly Remedies
-Restore one main entrance (and possibly a side door and/or a back door).
-Restore appropriate placement, sizing and symmetry to windows.
-The front porch should be restored so that the floor meets the house and there is a roof, columns and spindles.

Agreed, that is a great idea.
