This is part of my Bay View Porches album. Located in Bay View, Michigan, a summer resort community near Petoskey, Michigan, this house is named Smithsonian above the steps leading onto the porch. It has a second level porch with flags attached to is bannister. The lower porch has a swing hanging on chains, a rocking chair, and a couple of other items. Of special notice on this porch is the rolled-up plastic sheeting beneath the eaves. This plastic which is on many of these homes may be to block the occasional chilly breezes, keep rain off the porch to reduce rotting, or even to prevent snow accumulation during the off season.
This Historic Victorian community of nearly 500 public and private buildings is on the National Register of Historic Places. Every summer, Bay View offers world class presentations of music, theater, internationally renowned lectures and educational seminars, all of which are open to the public. In October 2012, Bay View was awarded with a great honor of being selected as one of America’s “Prettiest Painted Places” by the Paint Quality Institute and is a 'must see' destination.

It was far too hot to walk all the way from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building, so we made it this far, and turned back to see the White House before heading for the car and the comfort of air conditioning.
