Paint Job

Here's a heritage house I enjoy regularly on my morning walk. It's well over 100 years old now and recently got a makeover with some new colors and detailing. On the right you can see what it looked like before the paint job. The white was nice but this the new color scheme is much classier.

Another Hooper

A week ago I published a photo of one of my favorite heritage houses on Robert Street in Victoria West, and lamented about its sorry looking condition. Just across the street from that house is another heritage home that is actually older by several years (built in 1900) but looks as though it could have been erected yesterday. It was designed by the same architect who designed the house across the street, Thomas Hooper. It is described in "This Old House" as a "finely detailed Queen Ann cottage."
