Front porches have had a long and interesting history in “house architecture” since the early days of American settlement to the more modern “snoot” houses of the 20th century. Their presence or absence serve as images of changing social, economic and artistic patterns. They have gone from “eyes on the streets” to “cave entryways”. And, a lot of the history of porches is found in Kearney.
