Another Drive-By

While we were out and about today I had my camera with me.  I so often forget  to take it since we are pretty spontaneous and leave quickly when we decide to take off for the day.  It was so petty outside with Christmas Card like snow covering everything.  I decided to take some drive-by photos for you of some of the Victorian era homes.  Sit back and enjoy. As always, you can click on the image for a closer look.

Look at the home above and wonderful woodwork and detail around the windows and the very upper part of the home.

Did you notice the leaded glass windows and the half round windows in this home?

I am intrigued by the turrets these homes all have.  I wonder if they are accessible.  What a great view of the neighborhood.  Do any of you have an old home with a turret like these?  

They are all so pretty and the town where I took these photos has entire streets, long streets, of these beautifully kept us old homes.  One had a sign on it that said 1836.  They remind me of old movie sets.

We also stopped at an antique store and I found some wonderful old cabinet cards.

Wow -- those homes are gorgeous anyway, but the snow makes them even more special. How wonderful that those beauties are still so lovingly maintained. Great cabinet card finds, too! You had a day filled with eye candy -- glad you shared it with us!

American homes are so interesting (and big!) compared to our Aussie ones. The snow on them looks lovely!

Hi, Ginny! What town were you visiting? And (this probably sounds lame...) what is the definition of 'cabinet card'?

I love those houses...we used to get a programme called This old house...facinating....you could only have houses like that in the UK if you were a millionaire we do tend to have such small places in comparison....but then you have such a lot of land to use I suppose. :)
