My Favorite Ranch
Where I'm originally from, the small farming communities of central Illinois don't have much to offer in the way of mid century modern homes. This one, however, is an exception and is just a couple of miles from my parent's home.
I have loved this L shaped ranch since I was a kid, and always knew there was something "different" about it, even when I was too young to know why. It has always remained unchanged, with the same perfect jade green paint, driftwood-as-sculpture on the brick massing in front, neatly trimmed shrubs, and red front door. It looks like it was built yesterday.
My wife grew up near this house as well, and says it was always her favorite. Even though we are unlikely to ever move back, she says "there's our house" every time we drive past.
