WHERE HAVE ALL THE SHUTTERS GONE?
In ancient Greece, house shutters were marble louvers, protecting
homes from intruders and severe weather. After glass was developed, shutters protected the fragile glass during storms. In pre-AC times, shutters allowed breezes through the house while deflecting the hot sun from the windows.
Although still functional, shutters are now more architectural statements. Well-chosen shutters can highlight the beautiful architectural nuances and emphasize the graceful structure of your historical home.
So, drag those shutters out from under the porch. Better still, go to
