The two-story part of the house is sided in corrugated steel plates, screwed into furring strips and framed by a system similar to the one used with the fiber cement siding. This feature of the house also required us to request a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.

 |
| To keep the plates flush agains the house, there is a rivet at the bottom of each plate, centered between the lower screws. |
