Inspirational Homes of the 20's Still Standing!

I just love driving around and taking pictures of older homes . I found two great sites and would like to share with you. I believe these older homes are very inspirational and bring us back to a simplier time.

The first one just sold in Redlands, CA and will be rehabbed shortly. The second property is located in South Loma Linda, CA. It is just the barn as the house was torn down in the past 20 years. Still they are great relics of the 30's.

This house is located on Alabama Avenue in Redlands, CA.

I have to agree with Tim, they look a bit precarious.

Who is rehabbing the home. Cannot wait to see the after pictures. It does take us back to another era.

Hi Tim,

They are old but still a reflection of our history. The house can be restored to its original beauty but probably not the barn.

Thanks for stopping and have a nice week.

Hi Michelle,

Yes, they look pretty shaky but still standing after all these years and many earthquakes so must be stable enough. The house in front of the barn is gone. When I first moved to Linda Linda in 1989, the house was in front and people lived there as I remember them hanging their clothes on a line to dry.

Thanks for stopping and have a lovely day.

Hi Yvonne,

 The house is being rehabbed so it will look great when it is done I suppose. I just love the old barnes and houses even in their unstable condition. Makes me feel I am in the country.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping to comment.

Hello Kristin and I really like your post, and the Black & White photos are great. I love old homes because they have so much character and wish that they were never tore down.

Your post & photos have been featured at one of my favorite groups at AR ...

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for the nice compliment. I love this older structures as it reflects a life our children will never know, a much simplier life that our parents shared.

PS. I have told several people how close you came to being at the Reno Air Show but thank goodness you didn't stay.

Hi Chris,

Yes it is fun to look back and imagine how life was and they way it looked. I am always impressed with the one that are rehabbed and restored to their original beauty and stature.
