This morning was relatively mild. I went out and took a picture of Thomson’s Double Villa which dates from 1856-57.

The architecture is of note because, instead of the usual butterfly symmetry in a pair of semi-detached houses, Thomson took one house plan and rotated it through 180 degrees so that that the resulting building has two identical, asymmetrical elevations, each both back and front.
