Gingerbread and Lace
Mackinac Island became a popular resort area in the late 1800s, and the architecture of most of the buildings on the island are in "Victorian-style."
This "cottage", facing the Straits of Mackinac, has it all...gingerbread trim, a turret, lace draperies, stained glass windows in the turret, and a cat on the porch. Many of these private residences are valued at well over a million dollars.
My wife completed a very detailed cross-stitch panorama that includes several of these famous Victorian cottages of Mackinac Island. It reminds us of many happy memories of vacations (staying at hotels) on the island.
