I've seen pictures of it...huge wrap around porch, pocket doors, grapevines growing over arbors...{sigh.}. She still speaks of it with love.Laura @ the shorehouse.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442672928319257413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-40513729879817608062008-08-27T13:17:00.000-04:002008-08-27T13:17:00.000-04:00Such beautiful homes.

They are just beautiful. I think my favorite is the one just below your quote from Sohpie's Choice. We just don't have all that many grand old homes here in California (at least not this part). Reading your blog just confirms my belief that deep down inside I was just meant to live on the east coast. Now if only I could convince my husband of that!Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285906428711107041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-90105334635657377452008-08-25T17:48:00.000-04:002008-08-25T17:48:00.000-04:00What phenomenal architecture!BrendaWhat phenomenal architecture!<BR/>BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-28511165396594764102008-08-25T16:51:00.000-04:002008-08-25T16:51:00.000-04:00I'm so glad that they are working on preserving an...I'm so glad that they are working on preserving and maintaining the architectural splendor of these beautiful homes.Junie Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561131734782279400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-43170881570014836862008-08-25T14:59:00.000-04:002008-08-25T14:59:00.000-04:00Very nice homes.
