Owner elected to use more Porch Posts than were probably structurally necessary. They also used Half Posts at the walls. The narrower space between Posts enhances the already tall feeling of this porch, effectively making this home look larger than it might otherwise appear.
Extra Posts also permitted more Footed Crescent Brackets to be installed. The repetitiveness of Posts and Brackets helps this porch to be viewed in its entirety, rather than as more widely spaced individual components.
