This window treatment is typical of the simple and rustic architectural decoration on the houses along the windswept wilderness shore of Lake Superior. This house is well kept and in good repair, needing only another coat of barn red and a touchup of white to appear spic and span, but the weatherbeaten cedar shakes just seem natural.

Nice shot. Another interesting architectural feature unique to the vicinity of The Lair and the Floodwood are several cottages with cedar bark siding. I'm pretty sure this was introduced to the area by Prof. Almon Burr in the early 1900s. Maybe he got the idea from early resorts around Bayfield and Madeline Island. Perhaps you might post a cedar bark siding pic sometime.
