I love the expressions of the people in this photo. I want to sit down and chat with the woman holding the cat. She reminds me of Mrs. Lynde from Anne of Green Gables and knows all the gossip of the town. The other woman probably rolls her eyes, clinches her jaw and mutters “Rachel…” (or whatever her name might be) like Marilla would.
Don’t forget, you can click the photos to see a larger view!
Pretty organdy looking curtains downstairs, & looks like a nice breeze going on for the turret bedroom. Besides its squares of stained glass in the windows. (I had those in the upper sashes of my bedroom windows where we lived until I was 12.) I was also drawn to the lady holding the cat, whereas the other lady… not so much. 😉
interesting in that the breeze seems to be blowing from the inside out
2nd floor..hot air rises. It is blowing inside out.
Nice photo and great house. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out it still exists without its turret and original porch.
Is that Captain Smith…pre-Titanic?
🙂 These are fabulous.
I totally get this! haha!
And I love the curtains in the tower windows. This is an incredible photo!
That photo looks like it might have been taken on marthas vineyard.

This looks just like the Victorian resort community of Bayside in Northport Maine. Wonderful photos.
It definitely looks like a summer community, one where kids have wonderful memories. I like the lady with the kitty too — I imagine her saying, “Wait a minute, I want Tiger (or whatever) in the picture!” I don’t understand what’s going on with the curtains in the turret; there looks to be more than curtains in those windows. I think the woman on the right bosses the whole family around & complains about how much work it is!
Dillon, SC
Kelly you are too funny. And thanks for letting (me) know what she was holding, I could not figure out if it was a baby or a pet. And also thanks for the hint about enlarging the photos! Hope you are feeling well again.
My first reaction is that the two men and women in the photo above might be sisters and brothers hanging out in front of their ancestral home. The rustic loveseat reminds me of Adirondack furniture from the era, but it may be wrought iron, hard to tell.
Here’s a house a few miles from me in a trending neighborhood.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2259-E-Lake-Rd-NE-Atlanta-GA-30307/14477916_zpid/
Historic Druid Hills Leila Ross Wilburn gem, period details galore. Updated master suite and guest bath (incl. Ronbow cabinets). Freshly painted and re-finished hardwoods throughout. Original trim and lighting. Open family and dining room layout. 100+ year old specimen White Oak surrounded by professional landscaping w/ lighting. Massive fenced in backyard, paver and brick patios. Expansive front porch. A saunter to Decatur/Oakhurst/Candler Park. County not City Tax rates. Newer HVAC and roof. Large basement with utility sink and toilet. Renovated Fernbank school zoned.
The exterior of this 1922 house is more intact than the interior, but it’s in a lovely and coveted area of the city, on the boundary of Decatur and Atlanta. I thought people might like to view one of the architect’s pattern books. Leila Ross Wilburn was one of the first female architects in the early 1900s and many of her wonderful Craftsman style homes and apartment buildings still exist in the Atlanta area. In fact, there are more houses by Wilburn in the Atlanta area than by any other architect from any period. “What we most need in America,” she writes in Brick and Colonial Homes: A Collection of the Latest Designs, Featuring the Most Modern in Domestic Architecture, “is a better class of small domestic architecture, one which shall provide us with homes more wholesome in their exterior appearance and more satisfying in their internal arrangement and finish.”

Really like the last house, tons of character there. And room for ta da… burros if you like! (I do.) Beautiful property. I would be very happy, however, never to see any more exposed beams, which are only exposed because they were added later or someone ripped out the original ceiling.
Not a lot of photos but a great home nonetheless. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2745-S-Maryland-Ave_Milwaukee_WI_53211_M71779-68327

Okay so I know this little house looks rough on the outside but the inside is actually quite nice. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2518-N-59th-St_Milwaukee_WI_53210_M83953-96412#photo0
I ADORE this house!! It reminds me soooo much of my late grandparent’s house. I have so many fond memories going up to visit them and spending the week in their great big old house. I wish I could buy this one up but Montrose doesn’t have a lot going on unfortunately. It’s a great place to visit during the summer months to “get away from it all” but other than that, it’s pretty dull. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/24-Jackson-St_Montrose_PA_18801_M34014-81503?ex=PA591027373#photo0
What a lucky kid you were to have a house like to escape to! It’s a rare home that is beautiful, charming AND comfortable. This house checks all the boxes. If only it were in my neck of the woods — I would have morning glories growing on that porch lattice quicker than you can say “where do I sign?”
The 59th St. Milwaukee house… You were right, it’s a bit of a surprise inside. The DR is esp. very nice with all of those built-ins. Question: In pic #12 I see a telephone niche, but also what looks like another one next to the kitchen door… Is that maybe a warming shelf & drawers, considering it’s right above the heating vent?? If I had a built-in telephone niche, I’d have it wired so that I could charge my cell phone & iPad there.
I think the guy on the right was on the Titannic. LOL I kid.
Have a couple houses to share.

I love the older parts of Redlands, and the homes around the university are so great. We have always driven through on our way to Big Bear, but recently with a friend in a nursing home there, we’ve had reason to get off our beaten path and see more of the neighborhoods. Love Redlands!
Thanks! We have always loved Redland too. On the flip side, I can’t wait to leave California!
Please stay past the kitchen… LOL there are some quirky rooms and spaces.

Yikes, you weren’t kidding about the kitchen. I prefer reading to cooking, anyway, so I would just hang out in the upstairs hallway and order delivery.
That shower! Just wonderful. 🙂
I love all the shelves in the stairway hallway! Lord knows I’d fill them up in an instant if I lived there. I’ve got so many books I don’t know what to do anymore. I have two huge wall to ceiling bookshelves already and I STILL need more space!
Ha! YEs, the kitchen is horrid. Cora, I LOVE the deco looking bath. I am not 100% sure all that upstairs shelving is original, but I have no problem filling it!
Admittedly expensive, but beautiful in Salisbury, CT
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/8-Main-St-Salisbury-CT-06068/82383748_zpid/
Wow, beautiful is right! Elegant architecture & I want dibs on the furniture too. The landscaping takes my breath away, it’s just gorgeous. Even the awkward unfitting half-scraped walls & ceilings, which have no relevance or context here, can’t put me off this house. I wonder if it was built as an inn or as a private residence. I sure would like to move myself into it!
My Show and Tell is about a big house that was built for a man that came from Germany and had a big smelter that made tons of zinc and he made lots of money. Men from Chicago drawed the house and the decorations and the pictures are so pretty they were at a big museum. The house has 57 rooms and they are the same as they were when the house was new in 1876 and the furniture and art and everything from 140 years ago to now. The house has the oldest gym thats in a house.
The zinc man hired a book writer man who married his daughter and they all lived there forever and their son was born there and lived in the house until he was 103 years old. Then he gave the house to people to make it new again and save it forever and then he died there.
They fixed the tower and one room, and they got another big house next to it to fix too. You can go in the house and see all the stuff that’s in there for $15. The End.
Oh, and the house is not for sale and never was and if it was you couldn’t buy it anyway because you don’t have enough money.

I fell down a rabbit hole on those links. Great house, great story!
MWBecky, I know what you mean about the rabbit hole – I reverted to a 5th grader doing my homework. There are stories within stories like Zen scholar D.T. Suzuki living there while translating the Tao Te Ching. I was also blown away by Mrs. Carus who raised 6 children, worked as a chemist at the zinc smelter and ran the place as president, all while her husband was bringing Eastern religion to America and writing 70 books. And then there’s the house!

That paneled room is gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing the Victorian resort photo. One man is sitting down and seems to have a nautical look. Whether that is just due to the seaside location or we are seeing someone who actually pilots a boat or ship is not known. As for the house, its a compact version of a towered Queen Anne with the turret “engaged” with the gable, a visual acknowledgement of the narrow lots commonly found in resort settlements. Chairs are seen on the upper veranda off the tower, along the side of the house and on the porch which suggests many leisurely conversations outdoors which catching the sea breezes. Note the upper sashes in the turret are pulled down which helps pull warmer air up through the house. One could write a fictional novel just from looking long enough at this imagine and thinking about the place and the people who lived there. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my, the cottage on Tybee Island is wonderful. I have stayed on Tybee and been there many times. Places like that are gems.
I gulped at 2.5 mill for 3600 sq. ft. on an acre — then looked at the photos and fell in love! Says a lot about the desirability of Tybee Island, but that GORGEOUS wood all around, and the large airy rooms have to be worth every penny! Plus a sleeping porch with tons of beds — that by itself is paradise. The yard is super, the house one of my favorites I’ve ever seen. Thanks, Jennifer!
You are welcome! I love that Tybee house too.

How could you miss the peacocks? I love this house. The dining room, and living room are splendid. I also love the tile in the bathroom with the odd shaped tub. Is it marble or something else?
I also like the Brandon VT house. Too bad it has that wonderful barn but no acreage to go with it.

I love, love, love this house.
The expressions of the people in this week’s photo certainly are interesting. I have to agree with John about the potential novel that could arise from viewing the photo.
First up I have a bunch of odd-ball properties that I’ve been meaning to share for a while:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-53245588.html – How about an off-shore fort dating from 1915-1918 in Tetney, Lincolnshire. It’s very much in need of restoration, but has a lot of potential to be something really unique.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46843024.html – This Georgian home with a turret in Reepham, Lincolnshire, has a lot of potential too. It’s so enchanting the way it’s covered in Virginia Creeper.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42425952.html – This Georgian home dating back to the 1750s ‘Rock Hill’ in Edinburgh was the home of pioneer photographers Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-54261727.html – Dating back to 1929, this Georgian Revival home in Edinburgh is stuck in a time warp, especially with it’s gorgeous kitchen and bathrooms.
Then I have a selection of properties currently for sale in London:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-54232522.html – Dating back to 1741, Malplaquet House is an East End mansion in Stepney Green that is simply breathtaking, both inside and out. It’s sat vacant for a century before undergoing an outstanding restoration that will just blow you away. I cannot recommend viewing it enough. Here’s a further article about the property: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/malplaquet-house-3m-secret-mansion-on-sale-in-east-london_uk_5745755fe4b0ebf6a328eb9a
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-58777523.html – This 1830s Regency/Victorian home in Victorian Square has undergone a rather tasteful restoration, minus a few recessed lights.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-41351643.html – This Georgian home in Bayswater has a charming facade and a tasteful interior, it’s just a shame there aren’t more pictures.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-55004341.html – This Victorian home in Dartmouth Park has a gorgeous sunroom/conservatory, although in the current heatwave we’re having here in the UK I can’t say that I’d be able to step foot in it.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-53666740.html – This Georgian home in Hampstead has a rather tasteful decorative scheme, I especially like all of the unpainted woodwork.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-53895688.html – This apartment in South Kensington has a very unusual and ornate interior, that living room is certainly like something out of a fantasy.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36148230.html – I’d probably buy this 1930s home in Brondesbury park just for its bathroom.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-60809096.html – This Georgian home in Highgate Park is another home with a nice tastefully restored interior.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42797559.html – This 1860’s Victorian home near London Fields Park has a very nicely presented interior.

Thanks Fergus! I love seeing the UK listings! My favorite was Boscastle Road, Dartmouth Park, London, the rooms were large but not so large I’d feel lost in them.
I’m a little worried about bouncebacks/spam tagging (I tend to get those with a lot of links in emails sent out), can you break up the listings on your next share to 5 or so per post? I want to be sure no one misses out and their email ends up in their spam folder. 🙂
You’re welcome, I’m glad they’re appreciated. It’s seldom that you can find anything decent for sale in London.
Yes, I certainly can break down any future shares. Although you might want to amend the text you use for the friday posts as it says “Keep links to a minimum of 5 per post”, as that’s what’s been throwing me off when trying to decide whether I should break up my lists in the past. But I’ll make sure to break up my lists from now on. 🙂
Chestatee, GA
lol…yes, I meant MAXIMUM! Silly me, sorry for the confusion.
ME
Fegus,
What would you do with the offshore building? Perhaps a little get away/B&B for visitors to the area?
The Rock house is a dream property.
I also very much like the Georgian with the castle like tower. What fun It would be to fix it up.
The apartment in South Kensington makes me wish the whole house was complete. Oh to see it all. I love the loft bedroom.
But of all the wonderful places you listed I have to say my heart is beating very fast for the Malplaquet House. I cannot picture a more romantic or splendidly mysterious place to live. Oh to have the money to purchase it. *sigh*
The coming in at a very close second is the Highgate Village house. What a wonderful place this is. Oh and the garden is just spectacular. I want to have all my holidays there.
Thank you again for sending such fabulous listings. It is such a treat to look at them all.
Mmmm… I think I’ll take the Bayswater house, please. 🙂
For those who like classic, ’70s “Brady Bunch” decor, this house has it all. Built for the owner of a fishing reel company, this Cecil Stanfield gem is shaped like its owner’s famous products. The interior and furnishings alone should have a preservation order.

Nothing like the sound of a bubbling brook of the fish tank next to your bed.
Very, very nice and adorable house.
Opps! Meant “nice” house.
Dillon, SC
Nice house at a nice price but why are they calling for Chip and Joanna? This house doesn’t need a total gutting!!! I love watching Chip and Joanna but after being educated on this site I realize the difference between restoration and renovation.
What is photo number 18 about? Is that part of the yard?
Agreed. Chip & Joanna Gaines are good people. (very family oriented with adoring, seemingly well-adjusted children although Chip can be downright goofy sometimes) However, for most of the houses they tackle they have a stylistic “template” they apply that could loosely be called “Farmhouse Rustic”. On some of the rather boring houses they make over, they at least seem fresh and more interesting than in their previous incarnation. However, the rather narrow themed, almost formulaic decor in these homes post renovation are highly personalized and reflect the design ideas of Joanna. Their own farmhouse was the test lab for their brand of decorating and designing. Nothing wrong with that if Farmhouse Rustic fits your personality. In the years to come, these “Magnolia” makeovers may retain some limited appeal because of the almost celebrity status of Chip & Joanna but otherwise, will look dated sooner than renovated homes taking a less personalized approach.
Since it was aired again last night, I winced once more when I saw the “Shotgun” house episode. According to Chip, the subject house was one of only two old Shotguns left in Waco, TX, where the Gaines are based. Except for a couple of sections of exterior walls, everything else was gutted out of the house. The house was also moved off its original lot. The roof and framing were removed and a new one was raised higher. The post renovation interior layout was awkward, and least appealing of all was a movable ladder or staircase (if you want to call it that) which had to be pulled down from the “loft” section to gain access. A competent architect could have probably designed a permanent loft stairway access instead of something so unwieldy. Worst of all, the original Shotgun disappeared in the demolition dust-metaphorically, it was sort of a case of throwing out the baby with the bath water. It looks like Waco is now down to only one Shotgun type house. I really admired the Classical Revival porch which restored would have given the house a dignified timeless look as it originally had.
In the Andersen, South Carolina, house linked to above, hypothetically Chip and Joanna would gut it to the studs, move walls around, enlarged the kitchen and make it part of an “open concept” interior. The nice period mantels would have been taken out, the plaster scraped off the brick flues and the space to either side opened up so the formerly attached fireplace is now a stand alone unit unless its on an exterior wall. Some painted shiplap would undoubtedly be part of the decor. Instead of pocket doors, a pair or two of barn style doors made out of old weathered wood on exposed hanger rails (the metal parts painted flat black or grey, of course) would gain entry to bathrooms, pantries, or closets. As I said, there’s a “template” or formulaic approach to this kind of renovation. But different people have different tastes so there’s room for the “Magnolia” method of renovation which some people would be absolutely delighted with.

This house is from Camden Maine. Many of you probably know that Peyton Place was filmed in Camden. Now “The Elisha Hobbs House” which was Dr. Swain’s house in Payton Place and “arguably the oldest homestead in Camden Village” is up for sale. Note the price. Camden is very expensive.

Love this house. Rockport is just beautiful and quaint.
http://www.camdencoast.com/view/mls/1159161
The Elisha Hobbs house and barn is beautiful, and I remember Camden being charming. Those attached barns make my heart beat a little faster, but omg, the cost of heating with oil!
ME
Here in Maine people are very good at finding alternative ways of heating. However, the cost of oil was low this past winter and many abandoned their wood pellets for oil.
Wow, the property taxes! Serious stuff. They are all very nice houses, though. The one in Warren has a lot of personality & it’s cheering that it seems to be still in its original configuration — walls not knocked down for larger “open” rooms; looks like they kind of fitted the kitchen in where they could, making it cozy. I’d buy the Rockport house for its view alone, but it would be so much fun to restore it to its lovely self.
ME
Maine is not known for it’s low property taxes. We have a farmstead exemption and our two acres in Windsor are 1,200.00. Any body of water makes your taxes skyrocket. I have friends with a house on a pond and their taxes are 6,000 a year.
Potentially adorable 1930 cottage on Maury River in Virginia. Beautiful 6 acres. It was originally a mill, though no evidence of that seems to remain.

Cottage is adorable. Of course I love the 999,999 house.
Nice photo this week, Kelly! Might be Oak Bluffs, but I don’t think those houses are found in the Campground (aka the Gingerbread Houses). The front steps are too high – take a look:
http://www.yankeemagazine.com/new-england-legends/gingerbread-cottages-at-oak-bluffs-campground#_
There are lots of other houses from the Victorian era though, in the rest of town.
Here are a few houses I found, the first is from 1885 and has a great tower:

Here’s an 1899 cottage that won a preservation award in Houston, check out the skyline photo at the end. The kitchen is really well-done:

And this 1892 fifteen room house in the McKnight Historic District in Springfield, MA (definitely click past the kitchen!)

I’m visiting Oak Bluffs in September. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for this cottage 🙂
The Houston cottage is perfection. I’d love to move in & just start loving it. Treasures in Oak Bluffs! I want one of those too!
Another beauty from Hiawatha, KS. I’d want the cat too.

I love rounded walls and windows. It is just so beautiful.
OK, I’m going to join this party with a few listings from my hometown.
This one is around the corner from the house I grew up in. Interesting fact: Jake Leinenkugel and his family lived there when I was a kid. Less interesting fact: I used to ride my red Schwinn over there and sing “Livin’ On a Prayer” to one of his sons that I had a crush on. My last name isn’t Leinenkugel so I assume he wasn’t impressed.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/501-Superior-St-Chippewa-Falls-WI-54729/79367786_zpid/
Here’s a pretty house a few blocks away from the first one. When I was a kid it was painted the world’s prettiest shade of pink. The blue is nice, but if it was mine I would bring the pink back.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/704-W-Central-St-Chippewa-Falls-WI-54729/79367960_zpid/
This one sold at auction a few weeks ago, but the listing is still active so I’m including it. Weird story: this house was listed on the market for YEARS (like, more than 20) but the man who owned it would never accept an offer. Eventually the whole town accepted that it just wasn’t for sale. It has really never been updated, which is a blessing.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/608-Dover-St-Chippewa-Falls-WI-54729/79367894_zpid/
I really like the first one, the 501 Superior St. house. I’ve never seen a front porch of that design and love the various arches with their alcoves, and how the arch theme is carried throughout. The LR and staircase I particularly like, a lot!
I think I love your home town. And your stories.
My last comment included listings from Chippewa Falls, WI, and I’m going to add a few here from just down river in Eau Claire. I lived there throughout my twenties. It is a university town with a moderate level of respect for history, so there are a number of well cared for homes spread throughout a few neighborhoods.
I lived kitty-corner from this house for seven years while I rented an apartment in an old lumber baron’s mansion. Every day I saw the old man who lived there take a slow, solitary walk around the block his home occupied, always in a three-piece suit and a hat, and always dignified. I tried to work up the courage to speak to him and ask him about his home for years, but only ever managed to muster a hello and a smile. He was moved into a nursing home shortly before I left the neighborhood, and I learned that just he and his aged cat had rambled around in that house for decades. I never was sorrier to have not tried harder. Anyway, the contents of the house were quickly auctioned off, including Civil War uniforms and fireplaces from the home’s bathrooms. I met the new owner at the auction, and decided to man up and speak to him. He quickly offered me a tour, and I was able to explore the house at my leisure before any work was begun. The original kitchen was to die for, I tell you. He let me walk through again after they made their changes. Anyway, I know this house has been featured on OHD before, but it is back on the market for anyone with a spare 700 grand. I wish it was me — it feels like an old friend that I want to take care of.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/132-Marston-Ave-Eau-Claire-WI-54701/68503738_zpid/
This one is right near the University (and unfortunately a parking lot and a good deal of student housing), but it occupies a large block of very impressive homes, most of which are still single-family. It has obviously been very well loved and cared for.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/213-Oakwood-Pl-Eau-Claire-WI-54701/68503671_zpid/
This one, also near the University, is kind of a Plain Jane, but I like her! She seems like a good place to read Anne of Green Gables and moon about.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1212-State-St-Eau-Claire-WI-54701/68503648_zpid/
This one has a lot of original features intact, particularly the wonderful pantry.
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/530-Hobart-St-Eau-Claire-WI-54703/68501418_zpid/
Again, my fave is the first house. Very elegant, but not overly so. I think the bathrooms are the size of mnay people’s bedrooms!
Trying to imagine it without all that white paint.

Here’s a charmer in middle Georgia – currently owned by a Quaker foundation. http://wilsonrealtor.com/listpages/Pylant%20Crossing386%20-%20Bowden%20Johnson.pdf
BTW, Kelly hope you’re feeling better. I’ve been out of the country the past couple of weeks and for some reason your site is blocked there. I’m guessing it’s a bad setting or something. None of my other usual sites were blocked there.
Chestatee, GA
What country? There are a few I had to block because of hackers/spammers being too numerous.
I went camping and horse/camel riding in Mongolia and then South Korea. Not sure either of these countries have a lot of hackers, but I’m no expert. The site was blocked in both places.
Chestatee, GA
Not hackers for those but I had a lot of spam coming from them and since I never saw those countries in my stats as visitors I blocked them rather than trying to block individual IP’s.
No worries thought I’d let you know. I did go through OHD withdrawals for those two weeks. 🙂
Chestatee, GA
Sorry for that. 🙁
Seeking a buyer who will maintain the integrity of only the EXTERIOR FACADE? Sheesh, horrid crimes could be committed against the interior too. It’s a very nice house & looks like the Quakers kept it well. I hope they find a more committed buyer than they appear to expect! (Super vacation you had!)
The foundation manages a couple of other nearby places and does a terrific job at it. But they probably don’t have the resources for this house in the way they want. I bet they want the interior to be as original as possible, but can’t really control that. But I hope they do find the right buyer.
Thanks, it was an amazing vacation but I won’t bore y’all with details – plus it’s not about OHD. 🙂

Thanks, Jennifer!
Might as well include a third house by architect John A. Dempwolf – his own. You can’t go far in the York area without seeing one of his hundreds of designs.
http://robyn.pottorff.homesale.com/p/701-S-George-York-PA-17403/dmgid_101639877
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Dempwolf
The Abbottstown house was built for merchant W.W. Hafer for $15,000, a lot of money in 1884. A bit pricey and over-decorated IMO but wonderful nevertheless.
The York house was renovated for 3 condos a few years ago. The units never sold and they’ve been trying to unload it as one house since. Remember the boom market before 2008?
I saw this home too and wanted to share, but found it on this site already. 🙂 it is quite incredible. I hope it makes it way into a sfh again!
ME
Jim, what a find. How wonderful to buy a home that Dempwolf had designed for himself. I cannot believe the asking price too.
Kelly posted the Dempwolf house three years ago and it’s hard to believe it’s still available. One of my favs – I’ve linked it a few times!

I wanted to share information about a show that OHD folks might like. And maybe you already know about it, but on YouTube, the UK has a show called Renovation Home. There are three seasons and each week follows the restoration of an old property. I find it really interesting and it is amazing to see the old techniques still being used!
I’ve watched a number of episodes online. It’s a really cool show!
ME
Thank you for sharing this.

Matt, you are awesome!!!!! Thank you for finding the location! The address is 29 Broadway Ave, Northport, Maine. That is so cool, thank you, thank you!

I love this! How fun. 🙂 Now to pour over the pictures again and compare.
ME
Ha! I knew it was Bayside. You just cannot mistake a Bayside home. Truly this small summer community is just breathtaking.
Great find, Matt! Glad to see it’s fully intact and looking fine.
“Eagle Eye” Matt Z. does it again! Of course, perhaps it helps that Matt is also a practicing architect who was photographing and building scale models of historic homes in his college days. If there were awards for finding elusive old houses, you would certainly deserve one. Thanks Matt, for your great old house detective work. As for the house, I prefer the more delicate scaled balustrade off the second floor in the vintage photo. Now that the location is known, without too much effort we might be able to find out something about the people in the vintage photo. They obviously took good care of the place for it to have survived relatively intact for well over a century. What an amazing find!
Ha, ha, “just stumbling around google maps”, and literally found the needle in a haystack in short order! Love it. Some of you guys are nothing short of amazing.

I’ve been in this neighborhood when visiting a friend who lives just north of Newburgh. Newburgh’s historical society has a homes tour each December, which we’ve gone to a few times. Lots of older homes in this part of town, overlooking the Hudson River. And close to the renovated (formerly derelict) river front, where there are now a string of various restaurants, along with a commuter ferry over to the rail station in Beacon. The view down the Hudson at this point is lovely – the way it winds, and Polopel Island with its ‘castle’ ruins is just south of Newburgh.

FREE LUSTRON HOUSE! Why anyone would want to demolish a piece of history is beyond me!
EJ Designs, As I recall there is an active Lustron Homes group that probably wouldn’t be too difficult to find and alert them to a Lustron example being available. As for why anyone would want to demolish architectural history, it regrettably happens all of the time, Even some of Frank Lloyd Wright’s landmark homes and buildings have been demolished in the past with little fanfare. Despite the appearances here that everyone cares about saving our architectural heritage, the reality is we are but a very small subset of the general population. The proverbial “average Joe or Joanne” could care less about old houses-new is ALWAYS better; just ask them!
This is a sweet little cottage. Beautiful floors and built ins and hardware. The addition looks newer on the inside but looks old on the outside???
See what I found on #Zillow!
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2103003677_zpid
Jbilly, the addition is from 1974 and an older addition was converted to a garage. The 1854 Longbourne house is described in the NRHP report for Cooksville. It’s a cute little hamlet I remember seeing years ago.
http://focus.nps.gov/AssetDetail/NRIS/73000254
Kelly, Did you mean to have the house in Griffin password protected to view? At least that’s how it looks for me.
Chestatee, GA
Yes, I needed to let the guy that submitted it and is handling it look it over before I made it available to everyone. Once it is I’ll repost it so it’ll be view able. 🙂
http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/430-S-Sycamore-St_Petersburg_VA_23803_M63801-20341 John Shiflet, I made an attempt to contact you to see what you thought of this listing.
EJ Designs, I did reply to your questions although I do not see my comments here.
My reply was:
Not sure if by opinion you mean a general assessment of the Petersburg house’s potential or not, but these are my thoughts…As for the age of the house, it appears it may actually be an earlier Federal or Greek Revival that was updated with Italianate details around the middle of the 19th century. Petersburg is a town with a good historic preservation ethic and likely has good documentation for many of its period homes.
As for the price, it’s clearly in “bargain” territory. That said, sometimes even a one dollar house isn’t a bargain when you consider the scope of work needed. Here, it’s apparent the house needs major work which moves it from a true bargain into the “labor of love” category. Some considerations to review might be as follows: with the kind of investment its going to require, do you intend to live there for an extended length (decades) of time? Given the required investment figures, would there be any chance post-restoration/renovation to sell and recoup most of what you have in it? I’d highly recommend having a well experienced restoration contractor look at the house. He should have an idea of what improvements you want to have in it. A thorough inspection is essential for a house this old in this condition. Maybe even bring in a structural engineer if structural issues are discovered. Before buying it you should have a clear idea of how much it will cost to make it habitable and the added costs of improvements such as a new bathroom or kitchen. I can envision a figure of over $200,000 as being realistic.
Petersburg may have some preservation grant money and it would not hurt to check with the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office for grants or low interest preservation loans. Virginia has many historic towns with a wealth of old homes. Danville, Lynchburg, Richmond, South Boston, come to mind. If this house would be your very first restoration/renovation project, then figuratively, you’re going to be diving into the deep end of the pool. Hopefully, you have an ample budget to go with such an ambitious project because nothing is worse than running out of construction money in the middle of a project. Should you have additional questions, I can be reached: vintrest at Yahoo dot com. Good luck!

Kelly is there a way to search an address on the site to see if a home has been already shared? I hate to be re~sharing homes. Here is one that I find has a lot of potential. The acreage isn’t posted but if you dig you find it has 7.98 acres and has been on the market for some time. The realtor hasn’t provided any details either. Looks like there is a stable and a barn and a pool too. Check out the unique kitchen cabinets. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3384-Highway-381-S_Clio_SC_29525_M63647-44730

Yes, the sidebar under the drop down browsing is a search box that searches addresses.

*Moved the search box to the top of the browse/drop down thing on the sidebar, maybe it’ll be more visible that way. 🙂

Yes, thank you now it is very visible! Will it work for homes we post on the link exchange or just for the homes you actually feature?

This house in San Luis Obispo, CA is on the Mills Act which offers tremendous tax savings in order to help keep the historic property. It was built in 1898 and we’re only the fourth family to inhabit the home. I have photos of it from the old days if you’d like me to send them.

this was my parents’ home; i lived there for my first seven years. originally six bedrooms, one and a half baths, and each bedroom had its own cedar-lined trunk closet. i think a few bedrooms were sacrificed for larger rooms and more baths. wonderful place to grow up.

This beautiful home in Batesburg-Leesville, SC is in danger of being torn down to make way for yet another fast food restaurant. It’s free to anyone who will move it.
