My 1880's Whatever-the-heck-it-is
So glad to see the new board! Thank you for keeping me in the loop.
We own an 1880's conglomeration. I cannot put my finger on the architecture. It has two "sister" homes in our town. Once is a straight-up Victorian, and the other is similar to ours, but even larger.
We have 4000 square feet of everything from perfection to near-squalor. We are located in Western NY.
We have been having some exterior painting done, so here is a recent picture of the painting in progress.
I also keep a blog. The address is http://www.BlakeHillHouse.com
Looking forward to participating on the new site here.

You made it over! That is some abode. How did the wood ceilings fare out?

Same here! Nothing brings back a place to its full glory like a nice restoration and paintjob!

Thanks! When you mention the wood ceilings, do you mean under the porches? I'm not sure what you are remembering.

Likewise and thanks! Whenever I find a restoration blog I bookmark it right away and enjoy looking thru it!
And I must say, I've never seen such a unique looking house as yours!

We don't fully understand it ourselves.

Hi,
I love the whatever the heck it is.
I am going to say it is in the pattern of a foursquare?
