This house and it's surroundings are virtually the same as they have been for 55 years, except that the great, overarching elm trees are all gone now, destroyed by Dutch Elm Disease.
Very nostalgic. Brings back a lot of memories for me.
I did a double take when I saw this one! It could be a photo of the original manse for our church, where the pastor and his family lived when I was very young. It's now the Sunday School building, and known by all as "The brick house".
I'm guessing it was a pretty popular design in the early 1900s. There are a couple more somewhat like it in town.
It seems there are homes in certain eras that are all the same. In the area we know as "Holland Marsh" a lot of the original homes are the same with a barn like roof. Our grandfathers house was built in the same era as the one we now live in, and the design is pretty much the same.
This looks like a beautiful home Barbarian and your picture almost looks like a Trisha Romance painting!
