Q: This Newport News model is standing behind what type of balcony? http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc39/hlnl56/balcony.jpg I need to use a balcony for a backdrop for one of my pictures. Christopher K- Thank you so much! I would have never known.
A: That's called a Balustrade Half-Balcony. The top of the railing rests on the balustrades, which are the bulbous cement verticals that hold the rails in place. These were popular along the Mediterranean coast, as they did not disrupt the view that conventional balconies do, as they have higher railings..... Christopher
