Fromundow

The Fromundow style was a form of architecture that was fashionable in Germany for about three weeks in the late 19th century. It's generally agreed that the reason for its short-lived popularity was due to the fact that the front door of houses and other structures was located on the roof of the building, which proved to be quite impractical.
