   Bored bricklayer? No - I fear this was yet another repair necessitated by damage caused by an enraged Henry Rollins. Or - even more fearsomely - it may be an attempt to wall up an Entrance to Hell.

   Or, to conceal a treasure map of southern Idaho.

   Idaho? ok, what am I missing?

   Just referring to the shape. Imagine this with the panhandle-y top cut off:

   oh duh. need cawfee! need cawfee now! i was wondering if you were referring to John Palumbo’s song “the crying father from idaho,” except that i’d confused it with frank zappa’s “truck driver divorce,” (utah, not idaho) which was why i thought you might’ve heard of it.

   actually it wasn’t so much the whitewashing as all the angled bricks and chopped off bricks that struck me — in fact the bricked-up window to the right side prolly woulda been a better choice for the detail. (sorry.) obviously two windows and a door were removed at some point, but somebody took that as an aesthetic opportunity, which doesn’t always happen. that kind of thinking exemplifies why i love somerville.
