One of the most appealing features of Hawthorne Place is that almost every home has a front porch. The subdivision was founded and it grew at a critical time in domestic architecture. The bungalows, the latter additions of Hawthorne, were among the last 20th century building types to regard the porch as essential.

And they are doing most of it themselves.
