Ready For Destruction

Another home on the proposed airport land is slated for demolition. I don't know the terminologies of it, but I do like the bow shape of the side wall.

  1. You don't call it a bay window? Or is it to much stone in there and to little window? It is a lovely house in a typical, I would call, americana style. But perhaps you should call it georgian.

  2. Oh, sad.. I always loved this style of home - not sure what it should be called, but I sure do like it!

  4. I think this is a very sad photo. "Progress" has taken down too many beautiful homes and other sites!

  5. The side has a little style to it. The front of the house is kind of clumsy.

  7. This is sad. It is so beautiful.

    You can see these homes in Stouville jut outside the main town. Andy going up to the 9th line. I am so glad they are not taken down there.

    These houses have so much character they beat the matchbox houses of modern homes.

    I love your take.

  10. Not sure either, though the windows are shaped like what we call bay windows. How sad this lovely place will be gone in the name of progress...

  12. What a shame!

    "Progress" led to the distruction of much of historic San Francisco in the 1960s and 70s. And I wouldn't say that what replaced it enriched anyone's lives very much.

  14. My husband would call this "a Kay house" and he'd be right. I can't resist those big verandas.
