Goddamn right it is. And it was clad with shingles-- and built in a
vernacularized Shingle Style by some local yokel lacking any understanding of
structural principles-- long before Mr. Stoin discovered the Joy of Shingle.
And, I might add in the interest of full disclosure of all commercial
activity, the paint removed from the chimleys by our very own Sha[wo]man
[and, if memory serves, young David also] is still off!
