Almost Home


I took this photo for the spring blossoms, but the house is "almost home." It's architecture is very similar to that of the 1890 Victorian in which I grew up. The main differences are that the porch on our house was wider and had a turret above a swing on the left side, and the decorative trim on this house is a bit fancier.

Friendly Ghosts




Friendly ghosts hang on the front doors of Ashford, a 1903 Victorian home in Old Town.

On Halloween, I bet little ones will enjoy their trip up the steps to meet these ghosts for treats

The Cottage Life


This charming Victorian cottage in Old Town caught my eye immediately. I can just picture someone sitting in those white rockers and having a lemonade as they watch the neighbors go by. From the bay window to the gingerbread trim, the banisters and color choices, I can't think of a thing that I would want different. The house was built in 1873 by George L. Waller.
