Historic Homes-- because they are fun to photograph!






The city I live in has one of the largest urban historic districts in the country.We have over 1,300 homes dating from 1848 and they represent over 60 architectural styles. My favorite has always been the Italianate homes. The dutch ones are kind of cool too. The neighborhood that surrounds these historic homes is called East Town and it's an up and coming neighborhood. East town reminds me of  SOHO, NYC. Oh, and it's no NYC ( I don't think anywhere in this world comes close to it) but it has that same bohemian chic vibe to it. It's very culturally diverse and everyone wants a piece of this neighborhood right now. Although, what I am showing you in these photos are simply the historic homes.  I will take more photos of this neighborhood later down the road.

    I'm a sucker for this very thing. I spend a lot of time designing and decorating my dream space in my head so I always look to photos for inspiration... thanks for a few more good ones.

    Also, thanks for visiting our blog. We are happy to be introduced to yours and will be back!

    I love historic houses, too. I would love to live in an 1800's house. They have some much character. Beautiful pictures!
