My Heart Will Always Cling Lovingly to You Ms M! Clingstone: The lovelyarchitecture of J. S. Lovering Wharton

Of course you love me and cling darlings! I love it! Barbie loves a trip to sea and great architecture. Some people love to cling to their loved ones and that they should!  Hold on and sustain your love. Love like architecture is meant to last. It's the best especially when an older structure is renewed into a sustainable design. If you love a great trip to the sea & green design here's a home you might enjoy as much as this doll!  




A House by the sea: Clingstone by J. S. Lovering Wharton 





A cedar-shingled house built in 1905 by J. S. Lovering Wharton and currently owned by retired Boston architect Henry Wood, stands on a rock in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay only 20 feet above sea level.






When Henry Wood bought the 10,000 square foot home nearly 50 years ago. It had been unoccupied for 20 years and was in poor condition.



In its present condition Clingstone is "green," or sustainable, from the windmill on the roof to the composting toilets. The windmill provides electricity. Solar panels heat water for household use.















Would you love to live in this house in the sea?

Barbie would!
Enjoy!
Kisses, m.
