The Wrap Around Porch is a wonderful design feature in a country house plan. During the warm season, the outside and inside meet on the porch. Activities and conversation take place from rocking chairs and porch swings. To see more wrap around porches go to Advanced Search and select the ‘Wrap Around Porch' box under Porches & Exteriors.
Useful information: Houses surrounded by verandas are common in warm climates and have become emblematic of their regions and cultures, for example, the Larkin House in Monterey, California from the late 1840s (http://www.historicmonterey.org/?p=larkin_house) and Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana from about 1841 (http://www.oakalleyplantation.com).
