Challenge 849: The house they left behind
The seaside town of St George de Didonne has much to recommend it, including a fine network of caves that featured in a Friday Challenge back in 2013.

This week we're looking at this once-elegant townhouse, which I imagine must have been part of a terrace at one point. But what happened to the buildings either side? Can you replicate them? And perhaps open a few shutters?

High res is here.

Yes, and you also spent some time in the Casino Barriere nearby, didn't you?

In Wallonie, the southern French part of Belgium, we get a lot of these odd houses looking like a lone tooth. Tall, narrow and quite deep at their base, standing on their own in small towns and villages.

Here's one I photographed a few months back.

Given that yours is on a corner with lots of windows in the side I am tempted to wonder if it is a similarly bizarre construction that was built that way rather than ex-terrace.

Yes, I agree. But it might just be an end-of-terrace house.

I don't get it either.
