Opened in 1845 and designed by GT Andrews. Clock tower added in 1882. This area is due to be remodelled in the near future.
The roses in my Capitol Hill, Washington DC neighborhood are especially beautiful this year. We've had lots of rain and the entire area is in bloom. I have joked before that our roses thrive on all the hot air coming from the U.S. Capitol! View large to see the architectural detail. P.S. to all my dear Flickr friends: sorry I have not been "around" much...
Towering and tapering chimneypiece in the Banqueting Hall. The carved figure is St. Lucius. This is the only room to be completed before Burges died and the result is a rather heavy and ponderous interior space.
This is another one of the Bloomingdale House Series paintings. Blogged here: hipchickindc.livejournal.com/16528.html
At the corner of Guerney and Columbia Ave. this handsome Victorian residence is a very popular destination for travelers visiting historic Cape May,NJ
There is definitely an old house--possibly from before the turn of the century--underneath all that green asphalt shingling, and behind that prefabricated concrete stairway and those cheap aluminum slider windows.
The steep gable on the side might indicate a late gothic style house (Redding was founded in 1874, and there are only 3 or 4 buildings in town, not including this one, from before 1880), although it could just be a circa 1920 Dutch colonial. This looks to have been the more prestigious block of the old town's residential area.
Poor Redding: most of it's architecture isn't all that interesting to begin with, and tends to be a decade or two out of date, but then just before it's old enough to arouse interest, the locals decide to 'modernize' it in the worst way possible.

About the Merchant's House: Built in 1832, the Merchant’s House was home to a prosperous merchant family and their Irish servants for almost 100 years. Complete with the family’s original furnishings and personal possessions, the house offers a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life in New York City from 1835-1865. www.merchantshouse.org

Mallory-Neely House
Memphis, Tennessee
Many of the houses consist of a model village built around a green that once belonged to the Somerleyton Estate, formerly the property of the Jernegan family and then to Sir Samuel Morton Peto.
Situated just below Kensington Market. The house was built in 1884 for local lumber dealer, Charles Peterkin. It was owned later by Dan Heap, popular, local politician, Anglican minister and elected NDP member of parliament for the Trinity-Spadina riding from 1981-1993. He and his wife donated the house to the Homes First Society which provides housing for refugees.

I enjoy the fine view of the duplex afforded by the parking lot's vast emptiness, but I am simultaneously disconcerted by its absence of cars: Where has everybody gone!
