Hi, thanks for the comments, the house was found in coastal Georgia, USA, while on a recent vacation. The apparent lack of focus is through the process of scanning the 6x4.5 contact print and then enlarging and cropping. I have attached the original scan here.
My only complaint is the lack of focus... the grainy texture works wonderfully here, as does the sepia tone. You definitely have wonderful shapes and textures to work with. However, if your subject is the old shutters, come in closer (or crop a bit more, especially on the right), and make sure you adjust the exposure so they aren't so dark.
