a complete architectural meal
1 Jun 06
Wharton, Edith. The House of Mirth. New York: Scribner’s, 1905.
The man who built [that house] came from a milieu where all the dishes are put on the table at once. His façade is a complete architectural meal; if he had omitted a style his friends might have thought the money had given out.

Actually, the photo on the site doesn’t quite convey the true horror of the house’s facade. Perhaps we ought to walk down there and take some better photos, to illustrate just how bad a hack-up job it is.
