Looking at the roof - it's the overhang that is wrong I think and those photos confirm it.<br /><br />I've always wanted to do an apothecary and have been collecting little glass bottles for years.

Maybe a different roof altogether... but it's rather strangely shaped even without! I think it's an apothecary's house, with consultation room downstairs.
