SHAMROCK, TX Round Porches

We were surprised to spot these round porches.  They all look as if they are occupied.  Which is a "good" thing.  The porches are not really around in "modern times"
Which is sad. Homes seem to be squeezed together on lots really too small for the 2 or 3 thousand sq. ft. edifices. They seem to be fortress like , even the doors are not welcoming...
No porch to sit on in the evening or early morning and maybe have a neighbor stop by...

If you have a smart phone, you may be able to turn it horizontal and see more detail.




           The roof is round but hidden behind foliage.

Saved the best for last.  With a lot of love and hard work these lovely homes can be enjoyed again.
An interesting aside; it appears that the facing under the metal roof is round and almost looks like an add on porch.
The floor is obviously curved...or it could be that metal could not be cut round?
