Browning Road winds its way, one-way, from Central Street to Sycamore Street in Winter Hill.

A bit like Central Road, Browning Rd starts heading east, before turning north and then turning east again.  If it had gone straight through without any turns, it would connect with Sycamore Terrace.

Brastow Avenue is a short street that runs between Porter Street and Lowell Street.

Much of the north side of Brastow is flanked by a parking lot for Somerville Hospital.

The blue of this house is what first stands out, but as you approach the lime-green trim becomes more evident.

... to these two solutions to putting windows on curved walls ...

... to this barn/garage ...
