Love this old house...

I love this old house, up on a hill. And no, I didn't go up the driveway. I just zoomed up with my camera. ,-)

But I'd fix it up, if it was mine.

I'd take off that closed-in porch, on the right. And replace it with a matching porch, like what's on the left. By consulting old photos of the original, if possible. And do things with the lawn. And replace the old ratty shrubs, with new ones. Which would then be kept shaped. And some flower beds, around the base of the front window, which comes out, in the middle of the front. And have something done with the trees, by someone who knows what he's doing. And general sprucing-up and new paint job.

Surrrrrrrrrrrrre... >,-) All I'd need, is the money! ,-)

Details, on high...

More of those pretty details, up high, which used to be put on houses, around here.

Is one... Was two...

The unique thing about this house is... Today it's a one story brick house.

But long ago, there was at least one more story above, made of wood. But the wood upper part burned. And they decided not to replace it. They simply put a roof on the brick first floor and it's been thus, for as long as we can remember.

Re: Yesterday's entry...
Yes, this is the old family corner drug store {begun in Civil War time}, I've written of before.
And the counter showing, is part of the original soda fountain, which my husband refinished.

Old brick home...

A brick house, next door to the original city hospital. With a great looking porch {to me anyway, I love porches} To sit out on, of a Summer evening. Talk to neighbors passing by, etc.

I love this tiny house...

I love this tiny-from-the-front old house.

And look below... How close it was built, to the house on its right! You probably can't see how very close. But there are only inches between them. Not nearly enough for a person to get in there. So we have no idea how they paint that side. ???


But it's been there, for a long time!
