Charleston Battery House Bird House
Decorate your yard with antebellum style using the Home Bazaar Charleston Battery House Bird House. This wood bird haven is inspired by historic homes of the Battery in Charleston, SC, featuring a timeless painted white finish with black imitation windows, shutters, and doors. This house is designed to give the appearance of a two-story home, the bottom floor of which has multiple doors and windows while the top floor is lined solely with windows. Balcony porches hang on one side of the home’s two stories and are both bordered with picket railings and square columns. This southern-style structure is decorated with an imitation lantern ornament above its main door, as well as additional doors and windows along its base, making for a truly high-falutin and livable space. Its gable roof and flat porch roof are both adorned with cedar shingles, and a white imitation chimney protrudes up from the pitch to complete this home’s real-world likeness. Accurate resembling side-facing homes in the Battery area of Charleston, imitation windows appear to line both stories of the backside of the home, while a 7.25″ x 3.5″ panel is removable from one side of its structure for access to routine cleaning. Inside the house are two holes in its base, providing drainage of any accumulating moisture, as well as a mesh ladder leading up to the 1.25″ bird entrance sitting within one of the home’s two gables. This luxurious roost is designed to be affixed to an included, decorative bracket which can be mounted to a wall or post, and the structure’s own 12.25″ height adds additional elevation to the piece. House local birds in a home reminiscent of historic South Carolina living with this Charleston Battery House Bird House.
Note: Climate and the elements will weather this house and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the home’s natural charm without compromising its function. Should you wish to preserve the finish (paint) on this home, you should select a polyurethane product that is recommended for marine use (UV rated) that will not turn the white paint yellow. You should expect that once left outdoors, the product will weather and require refinishing.
