Could we see the house from further back . I am not a fan of the veneer on the posts at all. What is the new door like? That victorian one sure does not suit what i can see.

Like your front door. Entrance itself looks good; however, not a fan of that huge post in the foreground.

Would leave the stone veneer on the exterior wall of the house itself but rip it off that too large "square" post and clad the actual support post -- whether it be a large wwoodpost or a large metal post -- with wood boards, perhaps a natural wood finish to match your front door, and, to the extent possible, decrease overall size of the support post.

I like the stone and the stone pillar but do not like the front doors or the window above.

Thanks - and would you suggest white vinyl wrap for the post?

Based on a couple photos I would remove all the stone around the door and window, as well as off the column. The door wall gets replaced with horizontal hardi siding to match the house, I can't really determine what would be best for the column either wrapping it all smooth and white or installing siding on it as well.

I would take off the stone on the column and wrap it with vertical Hardie planks. Replace the front door with a contemporary door with side lights. Darken the trim around the window and then assess the stone wall.

Here is how I'd do the column.
