Set the Atmosphere with a Japanese Pergola | The Garden Book
The Japanese have used pergolas in their landscaping designs for centuries. If you need to design a Japanese-style garden in your yard, you will desire to incorporate some type of covered walkway or pavillion. Pergolas are arbors with cross-beams over the top which are frequently used to make formal entrances to gardens or to supply a covered area for relaxing and chatting. Though the roofs of these structures aren’t water tight, you can grow vines over them to provide for a shady retreat. While the ancient Japanese built pergolas of stone, modern tastes have changed to wooden structures which are much more reasonable to build. As well as models made of wood, arbors are also available that are fashioned from iron, vinyl, and fiberglass.
Japanese pergolas are knock-offs of the first pagodas which were built to provide housing for the ashes of Buddha. Their design often includes straight crosspieces with scrolled ends. Thru the centuries, the structures lost their religious connotations, especially when the designs caught on in the western world where Buddhism is rarely practiced. Although these classic bowers went out of favor during periods of the 18th and 19th centuries when fashionable gardens went thru a natural trend, they have come back into style in the 21st century in a big style.

10 years of TLC bring condemned house back to life in Pennsylvania
Abandoned, boarded up and stripped clean of its original architectural details, the 150-year-old townhouse in Pittsburgh, Pa., wasn't long for this Earth when David McAnallen decided to rescue it from the wrecking ball.
The city had already condemned the once-gracious property, built sometime in the 1860s. Yet plenty of other homes in similarly bad straits had successfully been renovated, and so McAnallen, who at the time was living nearby, was pretty sure this sad old lady could be coaxed back to life, too –– good call.
Ten years in the making, McAnallen's home-renovation project is arguably among the neighborhood's finest, from the meticulously restored cornice brackets and window surrounds brightening the red brick exterior, to the exquisite caramel-colored heart pine floors that greet you at the top of the stairs, to the second-floor deck that's decked out with a gas brick fireplace and provides a bird's-eye view of the courtyard.
