Another nice Italianate, though this time of painted stucco rather than brick. Unfortunately the two storey entrance addition gives the impression that this is a rooming house, as it is not in keeping with the building at all. My solution would be to rip it down and put in a larger footprint one storey entrance sunroom, or build it taller to match the roofline of the main house... oh, and get rid of the awful horizontal siding.
ALL VICTORIAN, ALL THE TIME! A photographic journal of Victorian Era homes I come across in my wanderings! Here you will see them all... Italianate, Regency Revival, Neo~Gothic, Romanesque Revival, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Second Empire, and more!
