Everything is oddly proportioned; massing, columns, windows the balconies... And nothing really goes with anything else. Corinthian columns (in two sizes!) with no entablature; the odd flattened arches on the windows; the oversized balconies that cling to the facade for dear life; the odd "eyebrow" curves on the eaves; the cheap Home Depot lanterns stuck all over the place... The marshmallow quoins (Dear god! Those quoins!) That strange boxy thing over the front entrance looks like it's just been plopped down and the two tall columns are struggling to hold it up. It's bad architecture; a mish-mash of roman classicism and spanish revival slapped on to a oversized shed with no attempt at elegance or subtlety.
