*and more!!! I know that there are two pics of the last house but you have to see how big this 'modest' home is! It is actually huge...and built in 1895... it was one of the original homes built in this neighborhood and undoubtedly, was one of the babies... the others truly are monsters in comparison.. yet, this one has charm and a sweet hominess that the others dont' quite pull off. They are gorgeous, to be sure, but in reality, when it comes to 'home', I think this one actually seems more like our image in our heads. Mind you, if there was a choice between this one and the other larger more austere ones, well... yah, I would be tempted to go big!
*these lovely ones are from a recent trip to Sioux Falls South Dakota... they are absolutely breathtaking and I really was upset to find that I had missed the open houses down there by a week..YES, they let you walk through these old girls and see how beautiful they are inside and out... and IMISSED it. SO not fair. I figured that if I had gone 23+hours down there to see them, that , REALLY, they should just let me see the inside when I got there, open house or not.... apparently they did not feel the same way. And no, I didn't go door to door begging to see the insides of these pieces of history....though perhaps I should have...instead I simply looked and clicked away with my trusty camera...and had to leave unfulfilled .... :(
