Gables—or, for the less architecturally inclined, those pointy things shown in this gallery's photos—are a great way to add drama to any house. The Bob Rummer Norwich House located in the Portland area uses two gables to maximum effect.
The Bob Rummer Norwich House provides tons of privacy, at least from the outside world. The inner sanctuary of the home is made of glass and open areas, making the Norwich House great for entertainers.
