another amazing house

i'd almost forgot about this one. it's only two blocks away, but i don't normally walk down that block. i altered my commute home just a bit tonight, though, after seeing the simpsons movie. (i walked from work to the theater, walked from the theater to a shoe store, then walked home.)

anyway, this is such an amazingly unique house:


i've never seen trim detail like this before:




this house makes me think of lisa. it's like a spaceship met a cottage.

Your neighborhood is going to be SO GREAT for Halloween.

That kind of trim is rarely original--the tiny wood bits are too easily broken or rotted over time. So somebody loved that house a lot to give it such an exuberant restoration. Thanks, these photos made my morning. And John's right about Halloween.... could be spectacular.
